As Asia gets back to work, port shipping traffic backs up

According to shipping analysts, the first ships began receiving the above container shipments in early March and now (three weeks after) are heading to ports for delivery. These are orders that were submitted before factories in China and other Asian countries were closed and are being carried out as production resumes.
