In 2023, the volume of empty short sea containers transported in Germany stood at 1.06 million Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units (TEUs). The forecast data from 2024 to 2028 remains constant at 1.06 million TEUs each year, showing no expected year-on-year growth or variation. As a result, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028 is projected to be 0%.

Future trends to watch for:

Technological advancements in container logistics could impact volume needs.
Changes in global trade dynamics may shift supply chain strategies, influencing empty container availability.
Environmental regulations might encourage more efficient container utilization or alternative solutions.
