Europe is also struggling with congestion in ports

The world of port logistics out of breath: a non-trivial assumption in the light of what has been happening in the last few weeks from one side of the globe to the other.
First the United States, with the Californian coast particularly interested, and to follow theEuropa, especially as regards the large northern ports, they deal with one naval congestion Without precedents.
On the blog Buonefra we had talked in recent days about what was and still is happening in the USA in this article, but the situation now also closely concerns the Old World, albeit in smaller proportions. Let's see how.

Northern Europe at risk of collapse?

The situation of naval congestion that concerns in Europe is starting to take place moderately concerning: in recent days twenty container ships headed to the ports of Antwerp, Rotterdam, Hamburg e Felixstowe they were forced to wait in the harbor for several days before they could have a quay available for loading and unloading goods.
A paradoxical situation if you think that we are essentially talking about the largest airports in Europe.
If we were to continue on these rhythms we would encounter a sort of "Logistic paralysis" which, even in light of the time of year we are approaching, that of the Christmas holidays, could lead to what we could define as a "commercial catastrophe" worldwide.

Discomforts of the sea, at all levels

Stopping times increased between 8 and 9 days on average practically in all the aforementioned airports, both on the quay and off the quay, with sorting times from the port to the depot that can even touch the 14 days. Two weeks for the storage of goods, something unimaginable until recently.
According to reports from the Kuehne + Nagel digital platform, Seaexplorer, ships have to wait on average four to five days before they can be processed in some northern European port.
A complicated situation that will certainly have developments that we will tell you about in the coming weeks, with a logistical emergency that is spreading like wildfire bringing consequences and repercussions of a different nature now in every part of the world.
