摘要：	A crisis in barge congestion at major northern European ports is getting worse, with Hapag-Lloyd, a major German shipping and container movement company, announcing it was suspending barge shipments in Antwerp until June 30, according to the logistics publication The Loadstar. The move came after barge operator Contargo announced that its wait times at Antwerp had jumped from 33 hours at the end of May to 46 hours by mid-June. Hapag-Lloyd said chronic low water plus "industrial actions" (strikes) had worsened an already "dire" barge situation and that it would review the situation after June 30. A spokesperson for the port of Antwerp denied to The Loadstar that other operators had canceled or suspended service, but other sources told the pub- lication that congestion would worsen as northern European ports expect to be hit by an "avalanche" of Chinese containers later in the summer. Another source said one problem is that too many barges are travelling half-full.
