Ports prepare for Suez surge

Following the refloating of the 20,000 teu Evergreen containership ‘Ever Given’ that has been blocking the Suez Canal for the best part of a week, attention is now turning to the surge of imports that are due to arrive at Europe’s shores as a backlog of vessels begin to transit the canal.

Among those ships that have been waiting to transit the canal are 100 containerships with an aggregated capacity of 1m teu, according to figures from Lloyd’s List Intelligence. While some of that cargo is outbound or empties, on average 52% of canal capacity each week is northbound to Europe.

Asia-Europe ocean freight markets show signs of slight easing

Forwarding and other freight sources report some easing of ex-Asia ocean freight markets in the last three or four weeks, including reductions in pricing from China, better availability of containers at origin, and some easing of congestion in destination ports. But some believe it may be ‘the eye of the storm’, with more disruptions to come as recently blanked services come back on line.
