상반기 세계 ‘컨’ 5％ 성장…中 닝보, 싱가포르 추월

Global container volumes rising 5% in the first half, with Ningbo overtaking Singapore, shows how much China-origin cargo still drives port rankings. Concentrated throughput at eastern Chinese ports tightens peak-season space and transshipment slots, which shows up directly in Sea & Air waiting times and rates. Shippers moving China-origin or transshipment cargo should review routes that depend on a single port and line up alternative load ports in case Ningbo or Shanghai congests. For year-end peak contracts, book space earlier than last year to absorb the added volume.
