Containerships calling at Singapore face increased delays in berthing due to a surge in vessel calls.
Industry sources told S&P Global Platts that an 18,000-teu containership now faces a delay in turnaround of up to five to seven days from the normal maximum of two days.
“There is a lot of port congestion in Singapore, which is one of the biggest factors,” an unnamed freight-forwarding source told the pricing agency.
