Abstract:The Covid-19 pandemic wrought unparalleled disruptions in global supply chains and port operations, unleashing congestion, delays, and container shortages of unprecedented magnitude. As governments worldwide implemented containment measures, shaping social behavior and curtailing economic activity, the repercussions reverberated across ports in the United States. These vital hubs encountered formidable challenges stemming from shifts in demand, labor shortages, and supply chain bottlenecks. Compounding these issues, the surge in e-commerce and disruptive events, such as the Suez Canal blockage, intensified pressures on U.S. ports. The pandemic's impact not only exacerbated existing challenges for ports and supply chains but also triggered inflationary pressures. This research zeroes in on the profound impact of Covid-19 on port congestion and the global supply chain, with a specific focus on major U.S. ports such as the Port of Long Beach, Port of New York and New Jersey, alongside global counterparts like the Port of Rotterdam and Port of Shanghai. The objectives encompass quantifying shipping volume, identifying trends, analyzing factors, and deepening comprehension for policymakers and stakeholders, crucial in fortifying resilient supply chains.
