CLEAN : Like many ports across Europe, Antwerp is seeing a surge in demand

The video discusses the significant impact of container traffic on global supply chains, highlighting that container terminals have been operating at maximum capacity since late 2020. This situation is not typical, as maximum capacity is usually reserved for peak moments. The pandemic has caused disruptions in major ports worldwide, including in Europe, the US, and China. China's temporary production halt created a backlog, further exacerbated by other global events like the West Channel incident and Brexit. The speaker anticipates that these disruptions may continue into 2022, with hopes for relief after the Chinese New Year.
