Container ship congestion outside the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach 2020-2022

On May 17, 2022 some 29 container ships were waiting outside the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, compared to just five container ships waiting at the ports on October 13, 2020. The congestion at the ports peaked on January 9, 2022 when 109 container vessels were waiting outside the ports. This high increase in congestion was due to disruptions to the global supply chain caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

2022年5月17日，洛杉矶港和长滩港外共有约29艘集装箱船只等候，相较之下，2020年10月13日港口内仅有5艘集装箱船只等待。港口拥堵在2022年1月9日达到顶峰，当时有109艘集装箱船只在外等待。此次拥堵的显著增加，归因于COVID-19大流行对全球供应链造成的干扰。
