U.S. ports

Since March, the congestion situation in the US West Port has not improved. For example, from January to May 2021, Los Angeles and Long Beach have an average of 53.9 container ships per day, including container ships at anchor and at anchor, which is 3.6 times the level before the new crown pneumonia. The Port of Oakland, as an alternative to the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach, has also begun to show congestion.

Maersk warned in a customer advisory report on May 26 that Los Angeles and Long Beach “have an average of one to two weeks waiting for ships and are still very tight.” “The situation at the Port of Oakland is even worse, where the waiting time is now It has been extended to about three weeks."

The latest data from the Port of Los Angeles shows that after setting a record high of more than 1 million TEUs in a single month, Los Angeles will also exceed 170,000 TEUs in a single week for imported freighters next week, an increase of 29.10% from the previous week and compared with last year. In the same period, it soared 78.09%.

With the increasing congestion in the port, the waiting time for container ships is also increasing. The latest number of waiting container ships has reached 18, and the average waiting time has reached 5.3 days!

Canadian Port

The Port of Vancouver, Canada's largest port and the fourth largest port in North America, was destroyed by wildfires in Lytton Village due to part of the foreign railroad, which delayed the import and export of containers.

Western Canada was hit by an unprecedented heat wave. The temperature approaching 50°C caused a fire. Up to 90% of the buildings in Litton Village were burned, and the tracks of the two railway companies and a bridge were damaged, forcing the transportation of goods to change routes to pass. Cause congestion in the port.

Both Hapag-Lloyd and Maersk have announced to customers that ships passing through the Port of Vancouver will be delayed. Maersk said that the impact of the fire on the port will continue for at least a week. The current terminal blockage is increasing and the vessel's voyage will be delayed.

With the already tight global shipping supply chain, rail disruptions have put the Port of Vancouver under pressure from a surge in container volumes.
