    Fact Check

    Does a screenshot of a ship-tracking map prove that all the ships shown along the Chinese coast were "waiting to dock" because of China's COVID-19 strategy? No, that's not true: The screenshot provided no context for the claim, and it showed ships of all purposes that were both anchored and underway.

  • Fact Check: U.S. Cargo Ship Backlog Is NOT Inconsequential And The U.S. DOES Make Products

    Fact Check

    If products were made in the United States, would the U.S. cargo ship backlog -- spurred in part by the COVID-19 pandemic -- be inconsequential?

  • Fact Check: Screenshot Of Live Ship Map Does NOT Exclusively Show Sitting Ships - It's Primarily Moving Ships

    Fact Check

    Does a viral screenshot of a live map of ships' locations exclusively show ships that are moored or anchored rather than underway? No, that's not true: The screenshot primarily shows ships underway, according to common iconography used on vessel-tracking websites and apps. The post appears to be related to claims about cargo ship backlogs in the U.S. and around the…

  • Fact Check: U.S. States Are NOT Preventing Cargo Ships From Unloading -- There Is A Backlog Of Ships For Other Reasons

    Fact Check

    Are cargo ships being prevented by U.S. states from unloading goods, causing a backlog? No, that's not true: Although there are dozens of waiting ships at U.S. ports that is resulting in a delivery backlog, the backlog is the result of supply chain problems, changes in consumer demand and port worker availability, not by states preventing ships from unloading their…
