Summary

Congestion is tying up roughly 5% of global deep-sea container capacity, equal to about 1.7 million TEU, with waits acute in Asia, Northern Europe and the Middle East. Shanghai faces up to 9 days of vessel waiting after typhoon shutdowns, Ningbo about 4 days, and Panama Canal queues reach 10 days. Shippers should build extra lead time into Q3 plans.
