One of the reasons for this is the rising backlog of vessels waiting to load soybeans at its port. The harvest and transport of these soybeans have been hampered by poor weather conditions making it difficult to dry and transport soybeans.

The Port Insight Dashboard indicates a steady increase in terms of the number of vessels anchored, working, and number of ships from October 2021 through February 2022.
