About
The data details the monthly inventory of shipping containers held at various ports across South Korea. It quantifies both empty and full containers, categorized meticulously by size, including 10ft, 20ft, 40ft, and other non-standard dimensions. This information provides deep insight into operational capacity and cargo flow. The original figures were sourced directly from the South Korean Government's official PORT-MIS System, making it a reliable resource for business and transportation analytics, focusing on specific metrics like container throughput and revenue tonnes (R/T).

- ID: A numerical identifier for each record.
- Harbor: The name of the specific port facility, detailing data across 12 unique locations (with Busan being the most frequently represented).
- Date: Indicates the specific month and year corresponding to the inventory figures, ranging from January 2018 to May 2020.
- isKorean: A boolean flag that distinguishes whether the containers originated from Korean ships (True) or foreign ships (False).
