Maersk’s latest market information report released on the 24th said that overall demand in December is expected to remain strong. Congestion in North American ports has deteriorated recently, and the waiting time for ships in Los Angeles/Long Beach/Seattle has increased to 21 days. Port congestion will still result in a shortage of voyages and capacity. In the outlook for shipping capacity and container conditions in the first quarter of 2022, Maersk pointed out that: due to port congestion and shipping delays caused by reduced capacity, we expect space to remain very tight during the entire Lunar New Year.
Before the Chinese Spring Festival, there will still be a shortage of containers in some areas, but the overall situation of containers has improved significantly compared with the previous few months.
