China’s Covid Crises: The State of Chinese Port Congestion
China's rising covid cases and lockdowns due to the omicron variant have been increasing the number of vessels waiting outside the country's ports. Initial lockdowns were placed on Shanghai, the country's largest city, from March 28 to April 5. However, authorities decided to extend this lockdown across Shanghai without providing a time frame for when it will end. This indefinite lockdown extension across Shanghai has had ripple effects on the number of vessels backed up along the country's coastline.
Shanghai's initial covid lockdown saw the number of vessels and average waiting days at its port increase. Consequently, shipping companies began to shift calls to neighboring ports as cargo exports out of Shanghai were also dropping.
Shipping companies omitting Shanghai calls have begun to impact congestion in neighboring ports. Data pulled from SeaVantage Port Insight Platform shows an increase in the daily average number of vessels anchored at Ningbo, Yantian, and Qingdao over the past 3 months. In particular, the number of vessels waiting outside Ningbo has more than doubled since February.
Meanwhile, SeaVantage's Port Insight Platform shows that congestion at the Port of Shanghai has decreased over the past two weeks due to vessels skipping Shanghai port calls due to low cargo export volumes.
Shanghai's port is currently not experiencing more congestion due to the lockdown, as other data may suggest. The coastline of Shanghai may be filled with many ships, but not all of them are headed for its port. Click here to see the list of vessels predicted to arrive at the port of Shanghai.
SeaVantage offers real-time tracking and visibility solutions for freight forwarders, carriers, cargo owners, and terminal/port operators. Our proprietary AI Maritime Traffic Network provides a more informed prediction of vessel or container arrival time for all stakeholders in the supply chain by bringing in additional data streams.

요즘 들어 극한 기후 현상이 점점 더 심각해지고 있어요. 허리케인, 산불, 가뭄, 홍수 같은 기상이변이 자주 발생하면서 공급망에 큰 혼란을 주고 있죠. 2024년 기준으로 미국에서만 수십억 달러 규모의 기상 재해가 3주에 한 번꼴로 일어나고 있다고 하니, 정말 놀라운 변화입니다.
세계 해운 산업은 국제 무역에서 아주 중요한 역할을 해요. 바다를 통해 상품을 실어나르며 전 세계 시장을 연결하죠. 이 중에서도 해운사들은 핵심적인 역할을 맡아 화물을 빠르고 효율적으로 배송하면서 세계 경제 성장에 기여하고 있습니다. 이 글에서는 세계에서 가장 큰 10개의 해운사에 대해 알아보고, 각 회사의 운영 방식, 선박 규모, 그리고 최근의 주요 변화를 살펴보겠습니다.
2024년 10월 말 스페인의 동부 및 남부 지역을 휩쓴 DANA 폭풍은 국가 인프라에 지울 수 없는 흔적을 남겼습니다. 이 폭풍으로 이 지역의 여러 곳에서 홍수가 발생했고 항만 운영이 심각하게 중단되었습니다. DANA(Depresión Aislada en Niveles Altos, 고도에서 발생하는 단독 저기압)는 지중해의 습기와 결합하여 국지적으로 강력한 폭풍을 일으키는 현상을 가리킵니다. 이번 DANA 폭풍은 집중호우를 쏟아부었으며, 일부 지역에서는 몇 시간 만에 1년 치 강수량에 달하는 비가 내렸습니다. (참고: NOAA 위성 서비스).
Shipping is the backbone of global trade, mobilizing everything from electronics to fresh produce across oceans. But, were you aware that smart tracking solutions are highly essential for aiding the protection of the environment? By employing advanced technology to monitor and optimize shipping, we can reduce waste, cut carbon emissions, and promote more sustainable practices. Let’s explore how this works and why it matters for the future of our planet.
Thousands of vessels navigate the waters daily, transporting essential goods, fuels, and even vehicles that keep the world up and running. Have you ever wondered what keeps this chaos at bay? That's where the Automatic Identification System (AIS) comes in, thought of as the silent superhero when it comes to marine logistics. Let's dive deep to see exactly how this modest technology keeps global commerce on course, smooth and sure.
Long dwell time can sound like a minor hiccup in logistics, but it most certainly has the potential to spiral upwards and become a major efficiency killer. Be it idle trucks, delayed shipment, or eating into costly fees, take control.
