1. Jebel Ali Port - Almost all
Shipping Lines use it as their container transhipment
hub for the entire Middle East region - facing a severe
vessel berthing delay and container yard congestion
since more than a month. Main reason is the huge pile-up
of transhipment containers. Jebel Ali is at 115 percent
occupancy with the transhipment containers; berthing
delay of upto 4 days for main line vessels and 10 days
for feeder vessels. Situation likely to improve marginally
after Ramadan (end September)
