WSC Warns 11% of Containers Have Potential Safety Issues
The World Shipping Council (WSC) has raised serious concerns about container safety, reporting that 11.39% of inspected containers were flagged for issues—up from 11% in 2023 and significantly higher than the sub-9% rates seen between 2017 and 2022, including a low of 6.5% in 2019.
These deficiencies—mis-declared or undeclared dangerous goods, incorrect documentation, and improper packing—pose considerable risk to crews, ships, cargo, and the environment.
