The number of confirmed cases in Yantian Port has increased to 4, and strict control will be adopted! A box ship heading to Yantian at Maersk found 2 cases of interruption of navigation
In the past weekend, one of the most talked about by people in the industry such as the port and shipping industry is the confirmed case of the new crown in Yantian Port. At present, the international terminal has confirmed 4 cases, and a large container ship of Maersk bound for Yantian found Cases were forced to interrupt the voyage back to Hong Kong.
▍Four cases of asymptomatic infections were confirmed, all of whom participated in international freighter operations before
As of May 23, a total of 4 asymptomatic infections of the new crown virus pneumonia were detected in Yantian District of Shenzhen, all of which were imported related cases. All 4 people participated in the same international freighter "Oriental Vancouver" on May 17 ( OOCL VANCOUVER).
According to official reports, the first positive case was 44-year-old Mu. On May 21, he participated in a routine nucleic acid test performed by the crew of Yantian International Freighter boarding and was found to be positive. Relevant departments then organized key personnel to investigate and found three other asymptomatic infections. The four asymptomatic infected persons all worked in the Yantian Port West operation area, and the daily activity area for the past 14 days was near the working port area and the residential area.
The four cases had a common history of exposure to overseas freighter workplaces, and none of them had any recent contact with persons with fever or cough symptoms, no history of eating game, no contact with frozen foods, and no contact with persons who came to Shenzhen from medium- and high-risk areas in China. Based on genome sequence analysis and epidemiological investigation, it is speculated that these two cases are from the same source of infection or the same chain of transmission.

▍Relevant place control measures
At present, Yantian District has implemented "two inspections in three days" for the staff in the Xigang operation area;
Adopt "Four Ones" health management measures for staff in Donggang District (distribute a health notice, conduct a health inquiry, check a health code, and conduct a nucleic acid test);
Yantian District and Longgang District have implemented strict control over the individual residential communities, and implemented hard isolation of their residential buildings; the control locations involved in the activity track have been suspended and closed.
The terminal disinfection of the homes of all cases, the workplaces of Yantian Port, and the key places in the activity track has been completed. Through strict control measures, the epidemic has not caused further community transmission.
Deng Feibo, Mayor of Yantian District, said that the new crown epidemic prevention and control headquarters of Yantian Port International Terminal has been established to lock key populations to implement control measures, and timely close the Yantian Port West Operation Area and Shagangwei living areas for case work, and carry out developments in the above areas. Elimination work, blocking the virus transmission route.

▍Port employees changed to "nucleic acid test every 3 days"
The epidemic once again sounded a wake-up call for Shenzhen to strictly guard against overseas imports. According to Yu Baoming, director of the Shenzhen Municipal Transportation Bureau, Shenzhen has required ports, cross-border cargo transportation, imported cold-chain food cargo transportation, international flights and other overseas import fields to strictly implement normalized epidemic prevention and control measures, and wait for it to prevent death.
In terms of ports, Shenzhen currently has 13 terminals and 1993 key employees. The Shenzhen Municipal Transportation Bureau will urge port-related companies to immediately conduct self-inspections, find loopholes, make up for shortcomings, and focus on sorting out whether the operating procedures are standardized, whether the protection requirements for operators are in place, and whether the environmental sanitation protection is strictly implemented in accordance with the requirements.
For port employees who are included in the scope of "all-in-one inspection", nucleic acid testing will be increased from once every 7 days to once every 3 days. We will continue to actively promote the vaccinations of new coronavirus vaccines for relevant personnel in the port field to form an immune barrier as soon as possible.
▍No other positive cases have been found in the 62547 human nucleic acid test
The epidemic was discovered during routine testing. It was discovered earlier and all were asymptomatic. The infectivity was relatively low. The range of cases and contacts can be traced and controlled. Based on the above-mentioned comprehensive research and judgment, a large area appeared. The possibility of transmission is low, and the epidemic is generally controllable. With the in-depth development of follow-up investigations, the possibility of sporadic cases will not be ruled out.
At present, a total of 173 close contacts have been preliminarily judged, and close contacts, sub-close contacts, key populations, and general contacts have been investigated and managed. According to the principle of “all inspections required”, a total of 62,457 people have undergone nucleic acid testing. Except for Xu, Zeng, and Zhang whose new coronavirus nucleic acid test results are positive, no other positive cases have been reported.
In addition, 765 environmental samples were collected for testing. Among them, 3 samples from the residences of Mu and Xu were positive in the initial screening, 94 results are pending, and the rest are all negative.

▍A container ship of Maersk heading to Yantian was found to have a case and interrupted its voyage
It is reported that a large container ship named "GERDA Maersk" with a capacity of 11008 TEU under Maersk was on its way from Tanjung Palapas Port in Malaysia to Yantian Port in China. Two positive cases of COVID-19 were found on board.

According to Maersk on May 14, the two third-party service engineers boarded the ship from the Suez Canal in Egypt as part of the regular maintenance plan of the Gerda Maersk and planned to disembark in Tanjung Belapas, Malaysia after the new crown test. However, due to local restrictions, the ship was refused to dock before the test results were announced. Therefore, the ship plans to sail to the next port of Yantian, China.
Subsequently, the ship discovered two positive cases of COVID-19 on its way to Yantian, China.
Maersk’s latest statement stated that, according to China’s new regulations, if the ship is not disinfected, the ship will not be allowed to berth and no crew will be allowed to disembark. Therefore, Maersk is in discussions with the TPP (Tanjong Palapas Port) authorities to return the ship to TPP for third-party service engineers to disembark and disinfect the ship.
On the morning of May 23, the ship returned to Tanjung Palapas and was anchored at the anchor point.

"GERDA Maersk" shipping schedule and co-cabin shipping company
In view of the quarantine of the ship returning, the subsequent sailing schedule has been delayed. Freight forwarders who have cargo planned to be loaded on the ship should pay attention, and pay attention to the ship’s dynamics in time to communicate with customers to avoid unnecessary losses.
