The article 'Bottlenecks Need Data, Not Just Meetings' from PortCalls Asia argues that port congestion and customs delays are not solved by meetings, but by precise data. It highlights that indicators such as high yard utilization, slow container pickups, delays in empty returns, and truck turnaround times reflect a lack of shared information.

Port congestion affects ports in Latin America, Asia, and other regions. Customs delays often stem from manual processes, poor coordination, and fragmented systems. The analysis suggests that collecting operational data can identify bottlenecks and enable early corrective actions.
