At Singapore, half the ships we track are sitting at anchor: 69 of 142
A live snapshot of Port Flow's Singapore port view: 69 of the 142 vessels we're currently tracking there are at anchor — 49%. At the world's busiest transshipment and bunkering hub, that's a lot of steel waiting rather than working.
The news
Singapore is the pivot of Asian shipping — the top bunkering port and a transshipment giant. When ships pile up at anchor there, schedules slip across the region.
Right now, Port Flow's live view of the Singapore port area shows nearly half the vessels we track at anchor rather than alongside a berth.
