Yantian port congestion blocks more boxes than Suez Canal incident

The ongoing container disruption in the Port of Yantian, caused by the Covid-19 outbreak, has already blocked a larger number of containers than the number of boxes that were unable to move due to the Suez Canal blockage by Ever Given, according to the container shipping analyst, Lars Jensen.

During the 14 days of Yantian port congestion, the port has been unable to handle approximately 357,000TEU, while Suez Canal blockage was impacting a daily flow of 55,000TEU for six days, which translates...

ONE’s fiscal year runs from April 1 to March 31. The Singapore-headquartered ocean carrier, which launched service in April 2018, has been steadily gaining steam, turning the ship around from a fiscal-year loss of $585...
