Shanghai, the situation deteriorates this week, with half-staff WFH for a short period of time.
Shenzhen, Government regulations were announced last Sunday , commencing Monday all public transport would be suspended and citizens have to stay at home.Trucking restrictions for vehicles traveling in and out of Shenzhen remain in effect and could slow the supply chain, since no cargo from outside the restricted area can enter.
Port Operations (Both Yantian and Shekou) operate as normal .FCL trucker can proceed to container loading and delivery FCL container into the terminal as usual. Trucks outside of Shenzhen are unable to enter the city and cross-border shipments from Shenzhen to Hong Kong are not going anywhere unless they are considered “essential.”
All warehouses service in Shenzhen have been suspended, value-added services and consolidation in Shenzhen Warehouse will be affected. Majority of the co-loaders have temporary transferred LCL/Consolidation business to Guangzhou warehouse and arrange FCL export from Guangzhou Port or Shenzhen Port or Hongkong.
