NEOLINK Announcement – Super Typhoon hits Shanghai – 14.9.21

Tuesday 14^th of September 2021

Dear Valued Clients,

As some of you may be aware currently a super typhoon has been impacting the Zhejiang region in China the past 48 hours.

See news articles below:

Since the beginning of the week port operations, warehouses, container yards and flights have all been impacted across Shanghai, as well as Ningbo.

Flights and Vessels that were due in at the beginning of the week have been cancelled/delayed, which we believe will have an estimated 1-week delay on all shipments from the region.

This adds further problems to already existing issues incurred to the region in the past month since the Ningbo Port closure in the middle of August.

We anticipate this will further delay schedules not just from the region, but also the major Guangzhou ports due to vessels not being able to berth.

NEOLINK will be working with our customers in the coming days to understand the impact on all of our customers shipments.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact any member of the team.

Best regards,

NEOLINK Marketing Team
