With the unblocking of society in Europe and North America and increasing activity, ports in these areas are facing increasing traffic congestion.
According to the latest Covid-19 port barometer report released recently by the International Association of Ports and Harbours, due to the impact of the moratorium, major container ports in Europe and North America have to face more cabinets than ever before. .
Although the shipping companies have cancelled a large number of voyages in the past few months, the rebound in demand means that the utilization rate of the voyaged ships has increased, which caused a sudden peak in activity in the port.
The report said: "The major container ports in Europe and North America have reported that the average freight volume of each ultra-large container ship (ULCS) called has increased significantly, and some hubs have reached 10,000 teu."
"This has brought the terminal and yard operations activities to a peak and began to affect land operations, especially trucks entering and leaving the port. Some ports report that it will take a few days for the terminals and terminal gates to return to normal, and the number of lost goods is also rising. ."
The report added: "Some port staff are under increasing pressure because these peaks sometimes affect resource allocation."
The report also pointed out that the congestion of access roads at ports further exacerbated these problems.
