Or they simply don't run those queries until they need to. i.e. "we don't give a F unless there's a hiccup"

The point isn't to track containers. The point is to get goods to where they need to be and when. Unless two of the same container shows up thereby causing a WTF moment there is no problem because there is no ambiguity in the container handling process and therefore they don't care.

Or each port does have it's own database, and so they can only notice a collision when two containers with the same ID show up at the same time?

It's not like Bangladesh and Port of Los Angeles have a need/desire/whatever to share the same primary keys in the same database somewhere.
