We keep hearing about this issue from one port, but the shipping crisis is global. Are other big ports (rotterdam/singapore/...) having the same issue?

- bkor 5y agoUS ports are highly inefficient. They don't work 24/7. That's rather unique. Same for how the terminal is organized. I'd suggest checking Felixstowe. Various years ago they were quick. They changed their terminal system. After that they were utterly slow (still are). Due to UK importing way more than what they export, Felixstowe always has way more empties going back than full containers. However, Felixstowe works 24/7, plus they apply pressure on shipping lines the various times they are overwhelmed with empties.
