It does make sense in the sense that if you are tasked with inspecting 70% of all containers, you must pull 70%. If you can't get to them all and a backlog develops, you still need to keep pulling because you still need to meet the 70% mark.
The problem sounds like they simply don't have enough inspectors to meet their quota. Either they need to lower their quota or they need more inspectors. Pulling a container for inspection and then sitting on it for 10 days sounds like standard government work. Their job is secure; nobody can fire them for being slackers; what's the rush (in their eyes)?
I would think the trick would be to try and figure out what elected government official this could be pinned on and then trying to get some lobby pressure in that direction: fix it or we give lots of money to your opponent next election.
