Therefore, they expect that the turnaround time will be extended, and ports and terminals will be further congested, and they recommend that cargo owners be prepared for more delays and continued high transportation costs.

According to Drewry’s current data, during this period, 66% of blank voyages will take place on the trans-Pacific eastbound trade route, mainly to the west coast of the United States. According to the data summarized by the easy sailing schedule as of December 21st, a total of Asia to North America/Europe routes will be suspended from December 2021 to January 2022 (that is, the first port will depart from the 48th to 4th week in a total of 9 weeks). 219 voyages, of which:
