Southern California ports can’t evacuate import containers fast enough. The backlog has yet again reached critical levels.

‘Right now, we don’t see a huge buildup of volumes because of the closedown in Shanghai,’ reports Maersk CEO Soren Skou.

The Shanghai lockdown isn’t following the same supply chain script as the big Chinese disruptions of 2020 and 2021.

The debate heats up on whether this is the beginning of the end of container shipping’s bull run.

Congestion could go from bad to worse as liners steer a record number of container ships toward East Coast ports.

California ports make progress on bottlenecks, but Chinese lockdowns could spur “hockey stick” import rise.

COVID lockdowns haven’t closed Chinese ports yet. If they do, U.S. importers face “shockwave” of higher rates and delays.

SC Ports has seen record container volumes for 12 months straight.

Liner company Zim expects to rake in a billion dollars more this year than in record-setting 2021.

The new facility will reduce wait times and port congestion, according to Transport Canada.
