Empty container logistics gridlock causing port operations collapse and supply chain delays

Shipping carriers and port operators struggle with massive accumulation of empty containers that aren't being removed from ports, creating bottlenecks that halt operations and trigger strikes. Customs brokers, truckers, and shipping companies lose revenue and face operational shutdowns because current container return systems lack coordination and enforcement. Existing logistics platforms don't solve the fundamental problem of incentivizing timely empty box removal or providing real-time visibility into container locations and availability.
