"Ports face increased congestion with 40% of ships delayed"
In June 2025, global port congestion has intensified, with a particularly significant impact in Northern Asia, Northern Europe, and certain Mediterranean ports. The analyzed data indicates a sustained increase in the number of vessels and TEUs affected, now accounting for approximately 9% of global capacity. At the same time, key ports such as Hamburg, Antwerp, and Tanger Med have reported year-on-year increases in vessel calls, further straining operational efficiency.
This resurgence in congestion cannot be attributed solely to increased traffic, but rather to a convergence of factors including the reorganization of shipping alliances, diversions around the Cape of Good Hope, the arrival of mega-ships, and the limited flexibility of many terminals. In this context, it is essential to continue closely monitoring regional trends in vessel calls, available effective capacity, and the measures implemented by ports to prevent this situation from persisting or worsening ahead of the peak activity period in the second half of the year.
