According to the official shipping schedule information of the MSC and Yixing Shipping, the MSC Elisa XIII ship departed from Shenzhen Yantian Port on January 1 this year, departed from Shanghai Port on January 4, and last from China on January 7 this year.A affiliated port, Qingdao Port, was originally planned to arrive at the Vancouver Port, Canada around January 20, but the reality is that it has been almost a month since the original arrival date, and the two shipping companiesThe arrival dates given respectively are February 26 (ZIM official shipment update), and February 27 (MSC official shipment update).I don’t know how many cargo owners and forwarders who carry this voyage from Shenzhen, Shanghai and Qingdao are about to cry!▲MSC Elisa XIII round delay is severe
Vancouver is not an isolated case
It is learned that such a serious delay in the MSC Elisa XIII is not an isolated case. Recently, the congestion in the port of Vancouver, Canada's largest port, is not optimistic. A large number of container ships have encountered long queues at the port!
In addition to the MSC Elisa XIII, data from the liner database eeSea shows that several container ships have recently encountered delays in the port of Vancouver, and the waiting time to operate at the port is as little as a week, and the most are more than half a month!
Destine Ozuygur, head of forecasting and operations at liner database eeSea, explained that while berth planners at the port are expected to be busy in the coming weeks, a closer look at the vessels waiting for berths in Vancouver will reveal other factors.
Data from the platform shows that about 25% of the arrivals at the port are waiting for berths. She pointed out that some ships have been waiting for a long time outside the port of Vancouver, pushing up the average waiting time of the overall berth.
"A considerable number of ships have experienced extreme delays and unpredictable ship schedules, and the berth planning team at the port and our team have been working hard to determine the ship schedules for these ships, but these ships are a long-term delayed alliance service," Ozuygur said.These route services are in the process of phase-out, so the shipping schedule is difficult to determine."
For example, the Marcos V-wheel of 6350 Teu, operated by Maersk, is gradually withdrawing from the 2M Alliance's Trans-Pacific WCNA Loop 5 route, which was about 16 days late in the previous port of call Port of Prince Rupert, meaning it can't be called originalIt is planned to be berth in Vancouver and is about 28 days later than its scheduled shipment.
"A ship that is more than two weeks later than planned and is expected to arrive is constantly changing, and will not be pushed to the front of the line in an instant," she added.
Meanwhile, shipping company Hapag-Lloyd also warned that the utilization rate of Vancouver GCT Delta terminal has reached 102%, ships have "defying berths of up to 9 days", while the utilization rate of DP World Centerm terminal is 83%,The delay is between 4 and 9 days.
Railway restrictions have also led to an increase in the retention time of imported containers. Currently, the average retention time of GCT Delta terminals is 4.1 days and DP World Centerm terminals is 5.9 days.
In addition, congestion in the port of Vancouver, Canada's West Coast port, will worsen in the coming weeks due to limited access to rail lines to the inland and reduced ship schedule reliability due to liner company restructuring.
Hapag-Lloyd recently notified customers: "The Canadian Pacific Kansas City Rail and the Canadian National Rail have implemented tiered operation restrictions for severe winter weather across Canada. These measures include shortening train lengths.and slow down the train, resulting in slight delays in the train. "
"These situations are expected to last another 10 to 14 days, resulting in an increasing retention time for imported goods," the company added.
