Affected by the current epidemic, according to Refinid's ship tracking data, there are currently 34 ships waiting to dock in the sea off Shenzhen, compared with an average of 7 a year ago. There are about 30 ships waiting to dock off the coast of Qingdao, up from an average of seven last year. The number of vessels moored at China's two largest ports , Shanghai and Ningbo, Zhoushan — has also increased significantly in recent days.
Maersk said in a customer update yesterday that although the port continues to operate normally, the epidemic prevention measures have reduced the efficiency of trucking. Peter Sand, principal analyst at Xeneta, said: "The current epidemic in China and sanctions against Russia have created more uncertainty for shippers and carriers. But what is certain is that congestion will increase, delays will increase, and supply chain personnel everywhere will go to great lengths to avoid obstacles to the movement of goods. ”
At present, Maersk, Mediterranean, CMA CGM, ONE, Evergreen, Wanhai, Yangming, Yixing, HMM and other shipping companies have successively issued or updated the latest business adjustment notices. In addition, the pearl river delta Shenzhen and Dongguan are closed, warehouses are closed to stop receiving goods, and traffic control is implemented in many places in Dongguan; there are cases of freight drivers forging nucleic acid reports in Shenzhen. 167 expressways in Jiangsu in the Yangtze River Delta were closed, and trailers were blocked from loading containers in Shanghai.

Pick-up and return: Some warehouses in Shenzhen will remain closed from March 15 until further notice. We provide you with an enclosed list of open warehouses to arrange for empty and returned containers.
Landside: The entire landside traffic situation is dynamic. If the driver has a negative nucleic acid test report required for epidemic prevention, truck transportation services can still be provided at present. Due to stricter road control and frequent nucleic acid testing, trucking services between Shenzhen and surrounding cities are expected to be severely affected by 30%. As a result, delivery times will be extended and transportation costs such as detour fees and highway fees may be increased.
Shanghai: Customs brokerage companies will be open as usual. However, on-site customs declaration business will be suspended from March 16 until further notice. Since most customs declarations are paperless, the impact is expected to be limited.

167 highway crossings in Jiangsu were closed, and trailers were blocked from loading containers in Shanghai
Recently, the epidemic situation in Shanghai and Jiangsu is severe, and various localities have introduced policies to control the flow of personnel, which has had a certain impact on the transportation of trailers across provinces and cities, and some export goods from Shanghai Port have been blocked. Here are the details:
167 expressway exits in Jiangsu were closed: As of 12:00 on March 14, 167 expressway toll stations in Jiangsu were temporarily closed due to the needs of epidemic prevention and control (a net increase of 99 over the previous day). Among them, there are 11 in Nanjing, 14 in Wuxi, 2 in Xuzhou, 14 in Changzhou, 43 in Suzhou, 12 in Nantong, 20 in Lianyungang, 10 in Huai'an, 14 in Yancheng, 6 in Yangzhou, 8 in Zhenjiang and 13 in Taizhou. Five bus ferries were temporarily closed, in Changzhou, Suzhou and Nantong.
Medium- and high-risk entry into the Soviet Union to persuade return or isolation: In terms of prevention and control policies, the 13 cities in Jiangsu basically require personnel from medium- and high-risk areas not to come (return) to the local area, local personnel not to go to medium- and high-risk areas, nor to travel to areas with recent case reports, if it is really necessary to come (return) to the local area, you need to report to the community or the unit where you are located, and hold a 48-hour nucleic acid negative certificate.
That is to say, if there is a trailer plan to be loaded in Jiangsu to Shanghai Port for shipment in the near future, the driver may be persuaded to return or isolate due to epidemic prevention and control on the basis of holding a 48-hour nucleic acid negative certificate, in addition to detouring to the unclosed highway.
At the same time, due to the reduction of traffic entrances, it will also lead to road congestion, which will significantly reduce the efficiency of freight transportation in the surrounding areas. Some sections of roads in Wuxi and Suzhou have been slowed down by stages. Data monitoring shows that the mileage of the slow-moving road section is currently about 71.3 kilometers. At present, there are no unified control requirements for wharves, warehouses, yards, etc. in Shanghai, and export goods that have been exported in the city can still be shipped normally.
