Shanghai lockdown: Disruption grows to logistics, shipyards and production

While the world’s largest container port remains operational it is becoming increasingly congested, as trucking is severely constrained and warehouses closed since late March.

Maersk stopped accepting bookings for reefer and dangerous goods into Shanghai on 14 April due to a lack of yard space.

Ocean Network Express (ONE) said in a customer advisory: “Trucking remains limited and the terminals are still congested, whilst reefer yard plug capacity remains highly stressed. Hence, there is a possibility that reefer containers cannot be discharged in Shanghai until the situation eases.”

Meanwhile two major subsidiaries of Bestway Marine & Energy Technology have suspended production due to the recent Shanghai covid-pandemic outbreak.
