Due to the enormous pressure in container shipping, we have come to a point where one traffic congestion follows another in many ports in the world.

These congestions create a logistical challenging for all involved in this process, both at sea and on land.

Ports such as the Port of Long Beach are currently unable to handle the loading and unloading of sea containers, causing logistics companies to experience significant delays.

Congestion like this is more common, but not at this current rate of slowdown. In some ports the delays can be up to a few weeks.

Shipping companies can no longer keep to their sailing schedules, are falling behind in their planning and also miss their so-called time slot to load and unload containers in the next port.

 The delivery of goods to the end user is also delayed as a result. You may have to wait a little longer for purchases you have made in the coming period.

According to insiders, this situation will continue for a while for the time being.
