Delays at Ports for Imports

I've got a pallet from China that arrived at Southampton at the beginning of the month.  Customs clearance has happened but there is a delay unpacking the container so that the individual shipments inside can be delivered.  It has been on the quayside for nearly four weeks now.
Does anyone have similar experiences at the moment or am I unlucky?

    An update on this.  My post seems to have triggered some action and the container was unloaded yesterday after 26 days on the quayside - normally this happens in a day or two.
    Things do seem chaotic at the moment even without Suez Canal problems adding to it.
