East American Sea Route

The American route has always been a popular route. As a big importer, the United States imports a large number of commodities from many countries every year, so port congestion, lack of containers, lack of cabins and other phenomena are very common.

As we enter 2022, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the wage dispute between American and Western American dockworkers, and the increase in shipment volume when factories resume work, the blockage of the docks in Western America has not yet been alleviated. Under the port of Mercer, more and more ships are redirecting to the East Coast of the United States.

For the east coast of the United States, foreign traders pay more attention to which ports in the east of the United States will import goods from when they are shipped to the United States.
