At present, the impact of the epidemic is still very serious. Coupled with the recent outbreak of "Omicron" mutant virus, the global economy is facing greater uncertainty.

In terms of shipping, the continuous congestion of the port has led many shipping companies to choose to skip the port and stop shipping to restore the reliability of shipping schedule.

It is understood that shippers are facing more and more blank sailings, of which the US west route is the most affected. At the same time, shipping companies are also choosing to skip ports in Asia and the United States to resume shipping schedules.

One's latest sailing schedule shows that the shipping company will cancel 29 trans Pacific routes from Asian ports. 22 of them are flights to the west of the United States.

One said that these blank voyages were caused by continuous shipping delays. Maersk added that last month it cancelled its connection with Seattle port to improve the reliability of shipping schedule.

Shipping companies skip most European ports

It is reported that alphaliner analysts compared the actual ship berths of the, 2M and ocean Union in northern Europe from July to December.

Analysts found that 383 ports in northern Europe had been cancelled in the past five months. The ports of felixto, Rotterdam and Antwerp have all experienced port hopping.

Among them, the delay of felixto port in Britain is the most serious. To this end, Maersk said it would cancel its attachment to the port. In order to maintain the original navigation plan, it is using feeder ships to transport containers back to Britain.

Maersk will arrange the transshipment of goods whose destination port is felixtor port from William port; The destination port of MSC is the port, and the goods will be unloaded at Antwerp Port first.

According to the data, the ports of Rotterdam, Antwerp and Hamburg have been cancelled 216 times in the past five months, reducing the number of voyages by a quarter.

Although a large number of port hopping is a serious problem, it also has a good side. The three alliances increased their calls by 77 times, mostly at smaller European ports. This can well alleviate the pressure of large ports.

But alphaliner points out that this is far enough, only partially making up for a large number of skipped port calls.
