For the high-priced cabin, did the ship even break down when it arrived?

The space booked with difficulty, the cabinet that was finally grabbed, finally escaped the box, and when the ship arrived at the destination, there was no place to anchor? image

According to a report by the Southern California Ocean Exchange on Monday, there are 25 container ships anchored in the San Pedro Port, which broke the record of 23 last month, while five more are about to arrive.

The Ocean Exchange reported that the conventional anchorages were full and some emergency anchorages were also occupied.

MarineTraffic uses automatic identification system (ship position) data to draw a map that reveals the degree of congestion of San Pedro container ships. Statistics show that the port situation has not improved in recent weeks, but has deteriorated.

The same is true for berths. Data from the Port of Los Angeles in recent months indicate that ships and ships will have to wait a long time to anchor.

The Port of Los Angeles stated that more than 150,000 TEUs will arrive in the port in the first week of 2021. The manifest data in the first half of January shows that weekly freight volumes have increased significantly. It is expected that more than 160,000 TEUs will arrive at the port next week.

The storage space on the west coast of North America has been severely damaged. Due to the aggravation of the epidemic, terminal operations and inland transportation have been severely affected, the lack of containers has become the norm and has become more severe. Even if the premium service is used, the supply of boxes cannot be guaranteed, and the shipping delay is as long as 10-20 The days vary.

In order to shorten the container cycle time, some shipping companies restrict bookings to inland points at least three weeks in advance.

Spaces in the West Coast of South America and Mexico are also in short supply. A large number of low-value customers have suspended exports. Chile's port congestion is the most serious. In order to shorten the container turnover time, some shipping companies restrict such bookings.

Europe/Mediterranean shipping space is also quite tight, and freight rates are expected to continue to rise in the second half of the month.

In the UK, due to port congestion and transportation restrictions, cargo continues to be delayed, and other European terminals are also operating slowly.

Some shipping companies started to stock up for the Spring Festival on a small scale. Due to the large amount of cargo backlog, they are not expected to stop shipping during the Spring Festival.
