South Korea's biggest port Busan, overwhelmed with empty containers a year ago, is now dealing with shipping lines that have more cargo than they can carry, the China Daily reported.
Surging shipments of furniture, electronics and clothes to the United States and Europe, coupled with capacity cuts by shipping lines, has caused as much as 15 percent of containers to be delayed in Busan this year, often by more than a week, according to Park Jong-ho, assistant general manager at Busan International Container Terminal.
