Kuehne+Nagel activates an indicator on the waiting times of container carriers at ports
Currently - the company pointed out - the problem is about 12 times more serious than normal
January 20, 2022
The indicator is available for the ports of Prince Rupert, Vancouver/Seattle, Oakland, Los Angeles/Long Beach, New York, Savannah, Hong Kong, Shanghai/Ningbo and Rotterdam/Antwerp. Kuehne+Nagel announced that, with regard to these airports, ports, currently the total waiting time is 11.6 million teu/day and remains at a consistently elevated. The company has specified that, as evidence of the current dysfunctions of the global supply chain, in normal times in these ports the days of waiting would be overall less than a million teu. In addition, Kuehne+Nagel pointed out that currently about 80% of the problem is focused on ports Americans.
Justifying the decision to define the new indicator, Otto Schacht, member of the administrative board of Kuehne+Nagel International, explained that "information on the trend provided by the indicator improve the capacity of our clients to predict and plan likely future impacts on their supply chain and to identify the best course of action.
