Hundreds of missed vessel calls through the first half of June are leaving a growing backlog of loaded containers at Yantian International Container Terminals (YICT) that will take weeks to clear. According to data from project44, 298 container ships with a combined capacity of over 3 million TEU skipped Yantian between June 1 and June 15, a 300 percent increase in blank sailings compared with the first two weeks of May. Estimates from industry analysts put the number of export containers waiting to be loaded by carriers in the Shenzhen terminals at 300,000 TEU. Source: JOC.com
