🚢 **Why Do Cargo Ships Carry Empty Containers?**  

Ever seen a massive cargo ship carrying **empty** containers and wondered why? 🤔  

🔄 The reason is **trade imbalances**. Some countries (like China) export more than they import, so ships return with empty containers instead of waiting for cargo.  

💰 It’s actually **cheaper** to transport empties quickly than to leave ships idle at ports! In fact, around **8% of all containers at sea are empty**.  

Now you know why giant ships sometimes sail half-full! 🌊
