project44 data points to heavy congestion at Chinese ports

While much attention has been paid to the backlog of container ships waiting to berth at the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach (there were 73 anchored there in September), the United States West Coast is far from the only place dealing with these challenges. That was made clear in data published today by Chicago-based project44, which found that as of October 7, there were “around 386 ships (anchored and moored) off Shanghai and Ningbo—two of China’s busiest ports, of which, 228, were cargo and container vessels.”
