What is port congestion?
The term port congestion is fairly self-explanatory. Anyone who drives in an urban area is familiar with traffic congestion. Port congestion is the equivalent of this regarding large ships and the loading and offloading of cargo. Port congestion is the term used for situations where ships have to queue up and wait for a spot so they can load or offload. Ports only have a limited amount of dockage, and only so many cargo or container cranes. Vehicles that have been moved by ship can only be driven off so fast, and it takes time to do this. Ships usually have to "wait in line" to get to the cranes or the pier because there is a high demand on the limited resources of a port. The high traffic volume causes port congestion.
