Antwerp Becomes New European Pinch Point

The Loadstar

Antwerp is the latest North European box port to suffer from the knock-on effect of terminal and quay congestion, with vessel berthing waiting times now extending to five days at the Belgium hub.

But there are also some indications that congestion at container hubs in North Europe, which have been plagued by supply chain issues this year and especially since the unblocking of the Suez Canal at the end of March, is set to improve over the next month.
