The passage through the Suez Canal is currently closed to ships in both directions. On 23 March at around 8am local time, the 400m container ship "Ever Given", coming from the Red Sea and heading north, ran aground in the Suez Canal, blocking the entire shipping channel. Today, in the early morning, it was partially re-floated. More than 27,000 cubic metres of sand and silt have been removed to a depth of 18 metres over the last few days, freeing the ship's rudder and propeller. However, the bow of the ship is still stuck.

Sea-Intelligence reports falling punctuality rates in container shipping. For the sixth month in a row, the rate of punctual container giants fell in January. What does that mean in practice? Only a good third of all ships arrive at their port of destination on time and each ship currently arrives an average of 6.42 days late. Based on further evaluations by Sea-Intelligence, DVZ reports that this was still 4.68 days in January 2020 and 4 days in both 2019 and 2018. The punctuality rate thus fell by 33.5% in 2021 compared to the same month the previous year.

As early as December, trucking companies sounded the alarm: HHLA's CTA terminal in Hamburg could accept export containers no earlier than 48 hours before the arrival of the ship. Since the beginning of February, this regulation has also affected the CTB and CTT terminals. Eurogate is now following suit with its terminal from 16 February and will accept export containers no earlier than 72 hours before the ship arrives.
