This is no simple issue. There are going to be some heavy costs to pay. But that doesn’t mean people who think they are being scammed in the middle of this situation should just ignore it. That’s why the FMC is there to look into situations.

Small issues like “I want my containers, what will it cost?”
comes down to facts like, where in the stacks of containers on the terminal are they? how many moves to free them up for movement? if
on the vessel, which hatch? which cell? how many moves to reach it or them? One large BCO two days ago paid $11,000. to get 11 containers
out of a terminal; happy to do it? not really, but when confronted with the facts of where the containers were, what it would take to move
other boxes twice to get at them, understood. The problem is that the carriers have priced their services so far below costs that when
a charge relates to costs, customers are shocked. Ask those who deal with the four big railroads in the US what it’s like to deal with so few
who do have profit as a motive for being in business, get your head wrapped around that as in about 5 years ocean shipping will be similar.
Not 4 carriers, but 10, all of whom will have survived the foolishness of the past 5+ years.
