Affected by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the repeated epidemics in many ports in China, the congestion level of the entire port is higher than that of last year.

Key routes for container congestion this year include the US, China, and Northern Europe. In terms of bulk vessels, the situation of this type of shipment currently waiting in the port is also further deteriorating. Especially Indonesia imposed a coal export ban (now canceled) in early January to support domestic coal supply, resulting in a significant increase in congestion at the country's bulk vessel ports.

The direct and indirect effects of the war between Russia and Ukraine, such as ships changing ports, changing trade routes, sanctions, changes in charter policies, etc., will further cause the inefficiency of the entire maritime shipping system.
