1.More than 400 container ships around the world have been waiting in ports
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, more than 400 container ships around the world have been waiting in ports. The biggest crisis when it becomes the size of a container ship that came out 65 years ago!

3. Ships Waiting times can be up to 12 days
According to the latest data from the Los Angeles Port Signal Platform on the 18th, there are currently 20 container ships at the Southern California marina, 11 and 31 outside the port. Waiting times can be up to 12 days as the berth has been increased to 6.9 days.
4.The Chinese port also started to be congested in August the ship left 100% late
The typhoon and the impact of the Ningbo Port epidemic have started to block China's ports, and almost all ships have departed late. However, China's exports increased by 29%. Container demand has not declined.
5.What is the cause of port congestion?
The biggest cause of global freight congestion is the different border control measures of various countries under the influence of the epidemic, coupled with the old port infrastructure and the forced shutdown of many factories, which endanger the smoothness of the entire supply chain, and cause the freight rates in China, the United States and Europe to soar.
6. In order to increase capacity, the port may operate 24 hours a day
At the same time, on the east coast of the United States, truck shipments were delayed by about two weeks, extending the container detention period.
Data shows that average storage time for US containers has increased by 35%, which is equivalent to a 35% decrease in usable capacity. The long detention of containers has exacerbated chassis shortages in the Midwest and Northeast of the United States.
In this regard, Cordero suggested that ports should form an “Amazon mindset” for their operations and consider 24-hour operations to keep up with projected growth.
Craig Grossgart, Senior Vice President Global Marine at Seko Logistics, finds the idea very valuable.
7. The earlier place an order, the cheaper it is
Congestion will become more severe and difficult to alleviate in the short term, and sea freight will continue to rise. We found that some shipping companies book a month in advance and have a lower price, but with a booking fee in the 400-800 US dollar range. We recommend that you arrange shipment of your order as soon as possible. The more towed sea freight rates may be higher. Some shipping companies have already charged a congestion fee of 800-2000 US dollars, and a pre-booked location can save you money.
