Container lines and their customers report severe delays in key ports

There are currently long waiting times in hubs such as Singapore and Shanghai due to the Red Sea crisis. Customers say ships are late by up to a week.
"In general, ports have experienced delays due to a build-up of ships and schedule instability due to the situation in the Red Sea," says Ocean Network Express (ONE), which emphasizes that not everything can be attributed to the attacks on ships. | Photo: Kin Cheung/AP/Ritzau Scanpix
