🚢 Singapore Port & Transshipment Congestion Update
If you have import or export shipments moving through or via Singapore right now, please take note of current operational delays
⚠️ What's going on right now:
→ Berthing Waits: Ships are facing 3 to 6 days of waiting time at anchorage before getting a berth slot.
→ Container/Equipment Shortages: Delayed vessel returns mean empty container availability at origin ports remains tight.
→ Rollover Risks: High yard congestion means transshipment cargo is missing connecting feeder sailings, leading to 1–2 weeks of extra dwell time.
📅 How to plan your shipments:
→ Build Extra Lead Time: Add a 1 to 2-week buffer for any cargo routing through Singapore.
→ Book Early: Secure space and equipment 3–4 weeks prior to your Cargo Ready Date (CRD).
→ Explore Direct Options: Ask us about direct point-to-point services to bypass transshipment stops.
