Sea-Intelligence reports that 5 percent of global deep-sea container capacity is currently tied up by delays and congestion, up sharply from the 2.2 percent pre-pandemic norm between 2011 and 2019. Schedule reliability remains around 60-65 percent, with late arrivals averaging 5-5.5 days, compared to 3-4 days historically. The absorbed capacity equates to roughly 1.7 million TEUs, comparable to the world’s eighth-largest container line. Linerlytica identifies Asian ports, including Shanghai, Singapore, and Hong Kong, along with Northern European ports, as key congestion hot spots.
