Well cars. The bottom container’s doors are blocked shut and thus impenetrable. Think the top containers interlock in such a fashion as to be unable to open doors, but not sure about the latter statement.

One thing for sure, loaded from China inbound and empty to China outbound. Paying labor in China at $3 a day is big money for those people.
