China Well -off. August 31st. The old horse's new crown epidemic is increasing the competitiveness of Japan's port. In the context of the chaos at sea, the shipping company has a negative attitude towards Japan with a small amount of goods. The number of container ships in Japan's major ports in Japan hit a new low since 2021. In the context of the reduction of direct routes to major ports in the United States, the owners have to be transported to transportation through international hub ports such as South Korea. It is difficult to predict the number of transportation days and other issues.

Container ship at Kobe Port

Japan Economic Shimbun reported that the number of stops in Ocean container vessels in the major domestic Hong Kong ports, Yokohama Port, Nagoya Port, Osaka Port, and Kobe Port was reduced by 8 % compared with the previous year and 12 % compared with the pre -epidemic in 2019. From January to April 2022, it decreased by 7 % compared with the same period of the previous year. At this speed, it is expected to hit a new low for three consecutive years in 2022.

The reason behind is the chaos of global container logistics. Due to the strong vacancy of home consumption demand and labor force in the epidemic, there were more than 100 congested incidents in the United States and Chinese ports. The schedule of sailing was delayed, and the shipping company had to skip the port that originally planned to stop. China and South Korea have a sense of existence in major ports in the world, and on the other hand, Japan is likely to be a candidate port that cancels the suspension.
