Congestion at Singapore's port has worsened due to prolonged vessel re-routing to avoid Red Sea attacks, causing disruptions in global ocean shipping with bottlenecks in Asian and European ports. This has led to challenges for industries relying on large container ships, such as retailers and manufacturers, dealing with surging rates, port backups, and container shortages. Global port congestion is at an 18-month high, affecting 60% of ships waiting at anchor in Asia, as vessels take longer routes to avoid the Red Sea attacks, impacting schedules and productivity.
