> Average prices of $3000 a container are now anywhere from $15,000 to $18,000

Is this the price of container + shipping?

[agrocrag]

This is the all-in price (covers a container and spot on the boat).

Not OP, but sounds about right.

Should be shipping only, container is just the box that is used to ship your cargo in and you don't directly pay for its usage

Who owns the containers?

[seymore_12]

Ocean carrier i.e. Shipping line in 99.9% of the cases There are few shippers that own containers, so called shippers owned containers (SOC) but they are minority
