More than 10 countries have seen "serious congestion" ports!

Affected by the outbreak, the United States, Poland, Brazil, Germany, Nigeria, the United Kingdom, Malaysia, Australia, Nigeria and other countries have experienced severe port congestion.
The United States
As a result of the outbreak, American demand for Chinese goods has soared, snapping up furniture, appliances and bicycles made in China, and shipping containers carrying Chinese imports have been stacked six stories high like Legos. Truck drivers are crammed into parking lots and have to wait for hours to pick up their goods.
The Port of Los Angeles, the largest in the United States, has been under constant pressure from the influx of containers and heavy congestion as ships wait to dock. The surge in container imports has also caused congestion at ports, making it harder for trucks and vans to move goods out of the ports quickly.

Congestion at US ports has not eased significantly. According to the Southern California Ocean Exchange, there are at least 47 vessels waiting in the anchorage area outside the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, 34 of which are container ships with a total capacity of more than 270,000 TEU. The largest vessel is 16,022 TEU.
In addition, as the epidemic continues to spread in the United States, the number of confirmed cases in the United States has been rising, a large number of logistics industry workers are also diagnosed with pneumonia, unable to continue to work, making many logistics parks in the United States facing a serious shortage of manpower.

Britain

Felixstow, Britain's biggest port, which normally handles 40% of all container traffic in Britain, now spends an average of more than 32 hours in port, a series of conditions that has forced shippers to divert cargo to other ports.
Maersk and MSC began replacing Felixstowe with Liverpool at the end of last year on their trans-Atlantic TA2/ NeuatL2 route.

The measure, introduced in the wake of Brexit, has resulted in hundreds of British lorry drivers being fined for travelling through Kent without a permit. Since January 1, when the UK is no longer bound by EU rules, police have handed out 407 fines.
Australia
Recently, the Australian container supply chain has been in continuous chaos, and this problem may not be effectively resolved in a short time.
Ships' schedules have been disrupted by earlier strikes, resulting in a backlog of "eight to 10 weeks" of cargo. But the union denied the strike action was the main reason, saying the surge in transport demand was the main reason.

Ports NSW noted that truck queues on the Simblist and Friendship Roads occur almost daily, and sometimes these queues not only cause significant congestion, but also create potential safety issues that must be addressed.
Malaysia
Heavy congestion at the busiest Port Klang West has worsened, with several wholesalers and retailers saying container congestion at the Port Klang West has caused delivery delays of more than a month and added unnecessary costs.

Kelang port authority staff has revealed that the agency after the congestion problem of the containers in port kelang, set up the work team headed by the ministry of communications, in the past month, the working group has implemented a number of measures, so the congestion has obtained remarkable improvement, including loading and unloading of the ship is in port waiting time is 5 days from last month's average, sharply reduced to 24 hours. Following the prompt response measures, the container congestion situation at Klang Port has been effectively improved and relieved. All the stopped refrigerated containers have been cleared for quarantine clearance within one day.
India
Due to the gradual weakening of the hurricane, the port of Katupali has resumed normal export shipments. The port is deploying all necessary resources to reduce berthing delays and expedited transshipment.

Nigeria
At Nigeria's busiest ports, Tincan Tingkan and Apapa Apapa in Lagos, no fewer than 43 ships are currently stuck in Lagos waters with loads of various cargo due to congestion at the ports. Many are stuck at sea because of limited space, which means they cannot enter and unload.
Congestion at Lagos's port has become so bad that the trucks can now cost more than $4,000 to transport a container 20km inland in Nigeria, almost as much as it costs to ship 12,000 nautical miles from China.

At present, the abnormal congestion of ports in many countries, the rise of sea freight prices are stimulating the nerves of air trade people. Some manufacturers export goods to the United States, due to unloaded, customs clearance is not timely, can not be sent to the buyer's warehouse on time, can only throw goods, abandon goods, heavy losses. Recent timely attention to the major port dynamics, so as not to encounter problems can stop the loss in time.
