    And who would look? there will be hundreds/thousands of containers at any given port.

    OP I do feel for you,, but maybe for your own sanity it is worth letting it go

    Well, you would hope someone in charge of "lost property" or "unclaimed items". But sadly, depending on the port, the possibility is nobody can be bothered.
    If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales

    Hadn't thought of that, I guess all/most ports would have some unclaimed items in a container somewhere. Of course that still means finding the port and like you say with the time that has elapsed it comes back to the needle in a haystack scenario
