Global Port Congestion Intensifies in 2025

Global trade continues to feel the strain as port congestion reaches new highs across major shipping hubs. Delays at key terminals like Singapore, Antwerp, and Shanghai have increased by over 300%, driven by capacity shortages, labour disputes, and rerouted vessels from conflict zones.
For importers and exporters, this means extended lead times and higher demurrage charges. At Westconn Logistics, we monitor global vessel movements and adjust shipping plans proactively to minimise delays. Our team ensures that containers arriving at UK ports such as London Gateway or Felixstowe are cleared and moved efficiently to your warehouse, helping you stay ahead of supply chain disruptions.
