May 30th, 2022 - Update 16

The purpose of this advisory is to provide you with the latest update regarding the recent COVID-19 resurges impact across China. The disinfection and quarantine measures have been implemented by local authorities to prevent the spread of COVID-19. To minimize impacts to your business, we remain fully operational with limited Work in Office Ratio and increased work-from-home mode.

We’re closely monitoring the situation and aim to bring you the most up-to-date information so that we can continue to serve our customers’ supply chain needs given the context of the situation.

Highlights:

• Shanghai office remains closed from 28th Mar until further notice. Some document charges will not apply if they are generated during the lock-down period from 28th Mar to 5th June in Shanghai.

Terminals

Terminals in GCA main ports remain business as usual including vessel operation, yard handling and gate-in & out.

Empty pick-up & return

Some depots in Shanghai remain closed from 28th Mar until further notice. A list of available deports is attached to this advisory for clients arranging empty pick-up and return.

Landside

The overall landside transportation situation is dynamic subject to change. Trucking service for now is still available in China main ports and nearby cities providing the drivers hold negative Nucleic Acid Test (NAT) report requested by local governments. Specifically, we see the efficiency of Maersk trucking service from/to Shanghai will be gradually improved with a downward trend of the new COVID infections in Shanghai. Maersk can provide multi-modal services via barge or rail as alternative solutions for the corridor between Shanghai and nearby cities.

Warehouse

Shanghai: Warehouse operations have been partially resumed. Drivers need negative NAT report within 24 hours and the truck temporary pass issued by local government when gating in warehouse.

Ningbo: Warehouses keep operations for now. However drivers are requested to show health code. In addition, drivers need negative NAT report within 24 hours if they are from the places outside of Zhejiang province or with * on the itinerary code. Cargo will not be accepted If drivers have been to the medium-high risk area in last 14 days or factory is located in medium-high risk area.

Shenzhen, Xiamen and Qingdao: Warehouses keep operations for now. However drivers are requested to show both health code and negative NAT report within 48 hours for cargo delivery.

Hong Kong: Distribution Center (HKDC) keeps operations for now. Drivers and helpers need to complete vaccination when they come to HKDC according to the government’s vaccine bubble requirements.

AIR

Shanghai: Gateway operations stay normal. We will see air flights will be recovered gradually.

Shenzhen & Guangzhou: Operations for existing cargo keep running. We foresee it will take 2-3 weeks longer than usual for the lead time of the inbound airfreight due to the increased volume for now.

Hong Kong: Due to the suspension of the trucking service between Hong Kong and Mainland, barge service is taken as an alternative for cargo moving. Airfreight space reservation will not be proceeded until the cargo is delivered to Hong Kong airport warehouse. As a consequence, It will take longer lead time than usual for the airfreight service.

We’re closely monitoring the situation and aim to bring you the most up-to-date information so that we can continue to serve our customers’ supply chain needs given the context of the situation.

Highlights:

• Due to the impact of the lockdown, we have seen an increased yard density for dangerous goods and reefer containers in Shanghai terminals. We recommend customers, when possible, to ship or divert the cargo to other Chinese destinations or other markets in order to avoid the congested port.

Import Laden pick-up

Due to the impact of the lockdown, we have seen an increased yard density for dangerous goods and reefer containers in Shanghai terminals. We recommend customers, when possible, to ship or divert the cargo to other Chinese destinations or other markets in order to avoid the congested port. There is a possibility that cargo arriving in Shanghai is being diverted to alternative locations.

Landside

The overall landside transportation situation is dynamic subject to change. Trucking service for now is still available in China main ports and nearby cities providing the drivers hold negative Nucleic Acid Test (NAT) report requested by local governments.

Maersk can provide multi-modal services via barge or rail as alternative solutions for the corridor between Shanghai and nearby cities.

March 16th, 2022 - Update 2

The purpose of this advisory is to provide you with the latest update regarding the recent COVID-19 resurges’ impact across China. The disinfection and quarantine measures have been implemented by local authorities to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Despite a stricter precautionary and control measures being taken, we remain fully operational to leave the least impact on your business with limited Work in Office Ratio and increased work-from-home mode.

We’re closely monitoring the situation and aim to bring you the most up-to-date information so that we can continue to serve our customers’ supply chain needs given the context of the situation.

Terminals

Terminals in GCA main ports remain business as usual including vessel operation, yard handling and gate-in & out.

Vessels

Vessel call and departure stay normal.

Empty pick-up & return

Some depots in Shenzhen remain closed from 15th Mar until further notice. We provide you with the open depots list as attached to arrange empty pick-up and return.

Landside

The overall landside transportation situation is dynamic subject to change. Trucking service for now is still available in China main ports and nearby cities providing the drivers hold negative Nucleic Acid Test (NAT) report requested by local governments. Specifically, we foresee trucking service between Shenzhen and nearby cities will be severely impacted by 30% due to the stricter road control and frequent Nucleic Acid Test. Consequently, there will be longer delivery time and a possible rise in transport costs such as detour fee and highway fee.

Customs House Broker

Shanghai: Customs House Broker will run business as usual. However customs house onsite operation for cargo declaration will be closed from 16th Mar until further notice. We foresee there will be limited impact as the majority of customs declaration is paperless.
