Delays in container shippig

Causes of current delays The Red Sea crisis has had the biggest impact this year. Attacks by the Houthis forced shipping lines to reroute via the Cape of Good Hope. Although the industry quickly adapted, average delays remained high. A new challenge arose from May: importers in Europe and North America started buying their holiday stock much earlier. This increased demand for container capacity before the summer, leading to an unusually early and busy peak season. In addition, strikes at ports in the US and Canada have recently led to further delays in container handling. Although the strikes have now ended, the backlogs will continue for weeks. What does this mean for you? The declining reliability of sailing schedules makes the situation even more uncertain for shippers. With the upcoming holidays, the pressure on global container traffic is only increasing. This could lead to even longer waiting times and higher costs for delayed deliveries.
