Covid Outbreak Update – China

Dear Valued Clients,

 

We understand that another COVID outbreak has been announced in Ningbo City, Beilun District. With the growing number of confirmed cases & close contacts in this area, Beilun district is now under lockdown until further notice.

 

Please see the following restrictions which will directly affect the supply chain:

 

  • The suspension of terminals within the Beilun District, which has started from 16th of October until further notice.
  • Empty container depots are unable to be accessed due to being located in med-high risk areas therefore shortage on empty containers.
  • To enter & exit the terminal, they have limiting routings but have also implemented a new ‘safe-list’ for truck drivers to minimise the risk of transmission.
  • Due to many truck drivers residing in, or close to, Beilun District, there is a large shortage of drivers.
  • Shipping lines amending their schedules over the next couple weeks, and any alternatives should be shifted to Shanghai.

 

We will be in contact directly if you have a shipment directly affected, otherwise we shall continue to monitor and will provide updates.

 

 

Kind regards,

Jayda Leaf
