The average number of vessels waiting per day at Asian ports increased from 13 in December 2021 to 22.5 per day in January 2022.

This is the largest increase seen in the South China-Hong Kong region. According to Project44, the average number of vessels waiting increased from 17.5 per day in December 2021 to 22.5 in January this year. The situation is similar in Yantian, with the average number of vesels waiting per day increasing from 17.5 in December to 22.4 in January of this year.

The increase at Yantian port coincided with port congestion that caused South China to limit operations to export containers. Downtime for export containers in Yantian averaged seven days in January according to Project44 data, and about 10 days for imported containers.

The world's largest transshipment port of Singapore also saw an increase in the average number of vessels waiting per day. January this year averaged 17.2 ships per day waiting to dock, compared with 14.8 ships per day in December 2021.
