Maersk reports a 14-day delay at the Chinese port of Yantian

Danish shipping line Maersk warns of 14-day delays in the port of Yantian through quarantine measures. In the Shenzhen region, where the port is located, a new outbreak of coronavirus has been detected, so the berths are closed one by one for disinfection. Notably, Yantian is one of the largest ports in China.

Most of the flights are still being redirected to other ports in southern China. Certain delays can also be observed in the ports of Sheko and Nanshe, that also located in Shenzhen.

Maersk counted 34 ship diversions through the current situation, while Ocean Network Express (ONE) counted 29. Delays in South China exacerbate line scheduling problems around the world, which have been disrupted by previously lengthy congestion on the US West Coast and shortages. equipment.
