Amid Record High Port Delays, U.S. Shipping Services Demand Up 310% | Thomas Index Report

Описание: With peak shipping season fast approaching — somewhat earlier than expected this year — distribution networks are getting more congested than ever. While operators added millions of shipping boxes to their global operations during the pandemic, this additional capacity is now getting stuck in ports and sometimes even exacerbating the problem. 12% of the world’s container ships are backed up at ports for longer than normal, with the average wait time at ports surging to record levels.
