Can you clarify exactly what is the commodity? The source link only goes to the OEC homepage.

If we total the $ per quarter in 2022 we get to approximately $600m. If we are talking about 1.2 million standard cargo ship containers then the price per container is only around $500 which would be cheap even for used containers.

Considering that there around 65 million shipping containers on the planet then a single country purchasing 1.2 million new is huge purchase for something which has a lifespan of around 20 years.
