Blockade and control aggravate port congestion! The shipping company announced to jump to port and adjust the sailing schedule!

The port of Shanghai has been congested since early March. However, since the 28th, the whole city of Shanghai will conduct large-scale screening in batches, and it is expected that the congestion of the world's busiest container port will increase.

Shanghai International Port Group said in a statement that it will maintain 24-hour operations except in extreme weather. While the port of Shanghai will remain open throughout the lockdown, transportation to and from the airport and container terminal will be severely restricted given that roads, bridges and tunnels between the Pudong and Puxi areas have been blocked for at least a week.

Linerlytica analyst Tan Hua Joo said the lockdown could exacerbate port congestion. "Exports will be restricted as factory productivity is affected while ports remain open. Port operations are expected to increase due to manpower shortages, based on what was observed during the Shenzhen lockdown."
