HEAVY FOG IN SHANGHAI AND NINGBO

We would like to inform the current weather condition affecting ports of Shanghai and Ningbo.

Heavy fog has severely impacted ocean freight carrier services and operation at both Shanghai and Ningbo terminals.
We expect delays over the next few weeks as carriers struggle to maintain schedules and several of them have been forced to omit calls at Shanghai and Ningbo.

The Shanghai Maritime Safety Administration has advised that more than 1,550 barges and ships are delayed along the Yangtze River channel and that ocean-going sailing schedules are affected.
It may take two to three weeks for operations to return to normal in Shanghai.
