Synopsis
Among other things, Container Corp is moving containers to neighbouring countries such as Sri Lanka and Bangladesh to help ease the shortage. Typically the company would only move the boxes to facilitate domestic shipments. That has coincided with a turnaround in India’s trade, with both exports and imports witnessing two months of growth on run.
