how many of empty containers are parking at US all the harbors? Are they free to park at harbors? Any reasons why the ships are regular taking 18-21 days sailing but now 60-90 days.

It is nearly impossible to get a figure for the number of empty containers sitting at U.S. harbors. However, it does seem like the additional fee being charged to companies with containers sitting at the port of LA/Long Beach has help get that cargo moving. As for fees to park, that really depends on the specific port, but in general, usually a fee begins to accrue after a certain number of days. For your last question, we actually have a few webinars that have been exploring and attempting to make sense of the shipping delays and the longer shipping time. If you check our channel, the latest one was called "2021 Shipping Bottlenecks & It's Effect on the Economy".
