A container is a cargo container that has large dimensions for loading various products, which is capable of protecting and preserving the quality of the different products, but how can a simple packaging element generate inflections that have reached critical points?

It may seem complicated to imagine, but the quarantines, border closures and other mobility restriction regulations that were imposed worldwide as a measure to contain the pandemic, created a stagnation in the normal logistics cycle of containers, containers that are essential for product packaging; Although it seems that most of the restrictions to contain the health emergency have been lifted in much of the world, the recovery time for normal logistics activities has taken time to normalize.

Returning to the subject of containers, we must think about what a shortage of them means within world trade, the container is now translated as a valuable good, which whoever has it can put the price they like, just like a A smaller amount of merchandise transported on a shipping trip means fewer companies that can ship their merchandise on a ship, so the few that manage to transport their merchandise on a trip must bear the extra costs of the trip.

The cost overruns are so high that they have reached 70% higher than normal. The high prices for transporting goods and the shortage of containers have led to a rise in inflation rates. Factors such as these are the ones that most concern the entire logistics and production chain that these delays and cost overruns imply. On the one hand, the production of the different goods is affected, which suffers from delivery delays, but also the costs not contemplated are added. within the production of said goods; Factors such as these have contributed to the economic recovery of companies being much slower than expected, causing some to be unable to overcome these waiting times due to growing expenses and little income flow, leading many to close.
