As the Spring Festival approaches, major domestic ports are experiencing peak shipments. The surge in container volume has led to tight container spaces. Currently, terminal yards in Ningbo, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and other places have issued emergency notices, saying that the terminals are close to saturation.

 

Moreover, this wave of peak shipments has directly led to crazy increases in trailer fees, drop-off fees and other fees!

 

 
The terminal is super saturated, and the drop-off fee has skyrocketed six to seven times!
 

It is understood that due to the peak period of the Spring Festival, the dock storage capacity of Beiji Division and Meishan Terminal in Ningbo Port Area has reached 95% in the past few days, and the terminals are in a saturated state. In order not to affect the normal lifting operations of the terminals, the above mentioned operations are temporarily suspended. Pre-entry green access to both piers.

At the same time, the Zhouxin yard also informed the public that the volume of containers will surge as the new year is approaching, container space will be tight, and yard, equipment, and port entry fees will increase exponentially. From 18:00 on January 19th,The temporary container entry fee is adjusted to 1,500 yuan/container.


The charges at some storage yards have even approached 2,000 yuan/box. Compared with the usual charges, the increase has been close to six or seven times!

Can't find the car! Towing costs triple
 

 

As an international shipping hub port in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Shenzhen has also seen its related costs soar driven by this wave of shipping peaks. Especially in recent days, towing fees have basically changed from one price per day to One price in the morning and one price in the afternoon, and the increase was astonishing.

 

The latest quotations shared by netizens show that towing fees to and from Yantian Terminal in various parts of the Pearl River Delta have skyrocketed, and some have soared to 5,500 per container. Compared with the usual towing fees, the increase has been up to nearly three times. The key is that high freight may not necessarily lead to finding a truck..

 

At the same time, Yantian International also issued a notice stating that as the Spring Festival approaches, export cargo volume has increased sharply, and a large number of export containers have been returned to the port in advance.

 

In order to cope with this rare shipment peak, Shenzhen Yantian International Container Terminal issued a notice and decided to invest a lot of resources to improve operating efficiency and increase heavy container storage capacity. From January 20th to January 28th, we increased the reservation quota for heavy export containers from the original 13,000 containers per day to 15,000 containers. At midnight on January 29, the quota will be restored to 13,000.

 

 
Urgent adjustment to the opening time limit for foreign trade containers
 

 

In addition to the surge in cargo volume at the two major ports of Ningbo and Shenzhen, Guangzhou Port, another well-known port in South China, is also facing the same situation.

 

Yesterday (20th) evening, Guangzhou Nansha Harbor Container Terminal Co., Ltd. issued a notice stating that the Spring Festival is approaching, Nansha Port Area is experiencing a cargo transportation peak, and the storage density of our terminal yard is high.

 

In order to ensure safe production and service standards at the terminal, the opening time limit policy for foreign trade containers is as follows:

 

From 19:00 on January 20, 2025, the foreign trade container opening time limit policy will be implemented. Based on the berth plan reception information, export heavy containers within 5 days before the expected berthing date of the ship will be received (ETB-5 days).

We would like to remind you that in the near future, there may be cases where the cabinets of goods cannot enter the port on time, causing logistics delays. Please pay attention to the congestion situation in time and adjust the transportation plan.
