Due to the ongoing congestion caused by the port strike in the East of the United States, the cargo processing time has been extended, and the number of vessels waiting at the port has increased, which has seriously affected the ability of vessels to rotate normally. As a result, MSC and Maersk were forced to cancel four voyages from Asia to the East and Gulf coasts of the United States. At the same time, MSC stressed that despite the suspension plan, customers can still make reservations and the company is actively putting contingency plans in place to ensure that transport demand is met as best as possible.

In addition, according to the latest Delury data show that in the next five weeks (10.14-11.17) on the main east-west routes, the cancellation rate of the shipping company announced the cancellation of the scheduled voyage is as high as 10%.
