China's Port Congestion Under Control

中国港口拥堵可控

Overall congestion at Chinese ports was manageable in December, with only short-term queues occurring in some areas due to seasonal factors and extreme weather, and no systemic port congestion.

12月中国港口整体拥堵可控，仅局部受季节性与极端天气影响出现短时排队，未形成系统性压港。

Jing Tang Port/Caofeidian Port: Operations have returned to normal after a brief impact from the cold wave, with an average vessel waiting time of approximately 1 to 2 days over 7 days.

京唐港/曹妃甸港：受寒潮短暂影响，作业已恢复正常，7天内平均船舶等待时间约为1至2天。

Shanghai Port/Ningbo-Zhoushan Port: Pressure was effectively alleviated through intelligent scheduling and multimodal transport, with an average vessel waiting time of less than 2 days over 7 days.

上海港/宁波舟山港：通过智能调度与多式联运有效分流压力，7天内平均船舶等待时间小于2天。

European Port Efficiency Declines

欧洲港口效率下滑

The average vessel waiting time at European ports in December was 1 to 5 days, with yard utilization rates generally exceeding 70%. Although no systemic paralysis occurred, turnover efficiency declined significantly. Some hub ports faced temporary pressure due to the concentrated arrival of Asian cargo before the Spring Festival and the combined effects of freezing weather in Northern Europe.

12月欧洲港口船舶平均等待时间为1至5天，堆场利用率普遍超过70%，虽未出现系统性瘫痪，但周转效率已明显下滑。受春节前亚洲货量集中到港及北欧冰冻天气叠加影响，部分枢纽港面临阶段性压力。

Middle Eastern Ports Face Temporary Pressure

中东港口面临阶段性压力

In December, hub ports such as Jebel Ali and Suez faced temporary pressure due to the combined effects of concentrated arrivals of Asian cargo before the Spring Festival and uncertainties in the Red Sea situation.

12月，受春节前亚洲货量集中到港与红海局势不确定性共同影响，杰贝阿里、苏伊士等枢纽港面临阶段性压力。

Jebel Ali Port, UAE: As a key regional hub, it experiences significant congestion, with an average vessel waiting time of 5 to 8 days within 7 days.

阿联酋杰贝阿里港：作为区域核心枢纽，拥堵压力显著，7天内平均船舶等待时间达5至8天。

Abu Dhabi Port: The average vessel waiting time within 7 days is approximately 1 to 2 days.

阿布扎比港：7天内平均船舶等待时间约为1至2天。

Suez Port, Egypt: The average vessel waiting time within 7 days is approximately 3 to 5 days.

埃及苏伊士港：7天内平均船舶等待时间约为3至5天。
