Global Congestion Snapshot
PCI congestion distribution across all monitored ports, based on the most recent 2-week average (2026-07-27 ~ 2026-08-09).
Also shows the change vs. the previous 2-week average (2026-07-13 ~ 2026-07-26).

KEY TAKEAWAY
• Global port congestion is BUSY at 44.5/100, about level with the previous two weeks.
• The top 20 ports by throughput read 50.1/100 (BUSY), 5.6 points above the all-port index, showing heavier congestion at major gateways.
• That small move still crossed a band line, taking it from STABLE to BUSY.
• In the last 3 days alone, 221 ports sit below their 2-week average and 112 sit above it (biggest easing: Fuzhou, 15.8h on the 2-week average vs 0.0h in the last 3 days).

Severe Bottleneck Ports
Ports where vessels wait far longer to berth than the actual cargo work takes — the more navy (waiting) in the bar, the worse the structural bottleneck (UNCTAD Tw/Ts basis)
