The backlog of containers awaiting return to Asia has raised concerns about port efficiency and the overall flow of goods. Stakeholders, including shipping lines, terminal operators, and logistics providers, are debating the most effective strategies to alleviate the congestion.

With empty containers taking up valuable space, many are calling for coordinated efforts to streamline the return process and improve logistics. The situation has highlighted the challenges faced by the supply chain, particularly in balancing import volumes with the timely movement of empty containers back to their origin.

As discussions continue, stakeholders are hopeful that collaborative solutions can be implemented to reduce the backlog and enhance operational efficiency at one of the nation’s busiest ports.
