SG port congestion eases, northern Asia delays persist

Carriers are rerouting to alternative ports in Malaysia, India, and Sri Lanka.

The port congestion in Singapore and other Southeast Asia port hubs has improved, but still face delays, according to logistics firm C.H. Robinson.

Major transshipment ports in Asia— including Busan, Shanghai, and Singapore— are facing delays of 14-21 days. This is compounded by carriers omitting port calls to stay on schedule, C.H. Robinsons warned.

In response, carriers are rerouting transshipment hubs to alternative ports in Malaysia, India, and Sri Lanka, causing congestion at these locations as well. Additionally, Typhoons Yagi and Bebinca have exacerbated delays in China and Vietnam.

On the flip side, MSC has reinstated its Liberty service from the USEC to Asia, directly connecting Philadelphia to Asia.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
