Congestion at Kaohsiung Port placed Kaohsiung's Road Infrastructure under Pressure! 高雄港拥堵，道路基础设施压力陡增！

Following the congestion at Singapore Port, Port Klang, and Tanjung Pelepas in Malaysia, Kaohsiung Port in Taiwan has recently joined the list with a surge in container backlogs, signifying the ripple effects of container port congestion in Asia.

亚洲集装箱港口拥堵 的传递效应不断呈现，继新加坡港、马来西亚巴生港和丹戎帕拉帕斯港出现拥堵之后，台湾主要港口高雄港最近也出现了集装箱堆积 现象。

Amid various challenges facing the global supply chain, Kaohsiung Port, the main container port, has recently encountered severe container congestion. The congestion in major Southeast Asian ports serves as the culprit that has led liner operators to divert transshipment containers to Kaohsiung. This shift has not only increased Kaohsiung Port's cargo throughput but also put unprecedented pressure on its road infrastructure.

在全球供应链受到各种挑战的背景下，台湾省高雄港最近也遭遇了严重的集装箱拥堵 问题。原因是东南亚主要港口的集装箱拥堵 导致班轮运营商将转运集装箱转移到台湾省的主要集装箱港口高雄。这一转变不仅提高了高雄港的货物吞吐量，也给其道路基础设施带来了前所未有的压力。

Data shows that containers at Kaohsiung Port have a 7-day dwell time for imports, a 9-day dwell time for exports, and an 8-day dwell time for transshipment. In terms of congestion as measured by the number of ships waiting to berth, Kaohsiung Port's congestion in week 28 has edged out Singapore’s, with roughly 28% of container vessels on standby, compared to Singapore’s 22%, which was 26% and 23% the previous week.

数据显示，在高雄港，进港集装箱的停留时间为7天，出港集装箱为9天，转运集装箱为8天。从等待停泊的船舶数量来看，第28周高雄港的拥堵程度 超过了新加坡，高雄港约28%的集装箱船舶正在等待停泊，而新加坡港为22%，而上周这一比例分别为26%和23%。

To alleviate traffic congestion, Taiwan International Ports Corporation (TIPC) is building exclusive lanes for trucks and promoting the use of barges for container transfers between terminals by terminal operators.

台湾国际港口公司（TIPC）正在通过为卡车修建专用车道来缓解交通压力，并鼓励码头运营商在码头之间用驳船运输集装箱，以尽量减少卡车运输压力。

To lessen the reliance on truck transport, TIPC has directed Evergreen Marine Corporation, the operator of Kaohsiung Port’s Terminal 7, to increase the number of containers transported by barge from Terminal 3 to Terminal 5. As of now, the barge transport sees about 20,000 containers being handled each month. Moreover, Kaohsiung municipalities are adopting artificial intelligence to control traffic signals.

为了减少对卡车运输的依赖，台湾国际港口公司（TIPC）已要求运营高雄港7号码头的长荣海运公司将更多集装箱利用驳船从3号码头运输至5号码头。目前，每月驳船运输量约为20000个集装箱。与此同时，高雄市政当局正在使用人工智能来控制交通信号。
