New crown pneumonia epidemic in Chinese ports intensifies delays in global supply chains

 

The weeks of disruption at one of the world’s largest container terminals in southern China have put tremendous pressure on the already stretched global shipping industry and exacerbated supply chain delays for global manufacturers and retailers.

 

Shenzhen Yantian Terminal Closed for almost a week In late May, port workers tested positive for Covid-19; a few weeks later, productivity had returned to only about 70% of normal levels.

 

Yantian handles 13 million 20-foot containers each year, making it the third largest terminal in the world. But the facility is operated by Hong Kong-based Hutchison Port, and congestion has spread to other nearby terminals, such as Nansha and Shekou. Local authorities in the area blocked roads and closed some commercial areas to stop the spread of the virus.

 

How quickly do we return to the pre-Covid supply chain reliability?About six or nine months

 

Even if a relatively small epidemic occurs in China’s port cities, this situation has exposed the vulnerability of global shipping in future delays. Lars Jensen, chief executive of consulting firm Vespucci Maritime, said the incident highlights the greater risk of shutdowns if the virus hits larger ports such as Shanghai.

 

“The Chinese authorities are trying to crack down on the smallest outbreaks… It only takes a few single cases to close a large area. We can see a bigger impact,” he said.

 

At the height of the disruption, Leslie Wang, owner of the Guangzhou garment factory, told the Financial Times that the situation was “like a nightmare”.

 

She said earlier this month that although she has tested all workers for the virus and kept the production line running normally, “the goods have been piled up in the freight company and cannot be shipped at all.”

 

Since the end of last year, shipping has been under tremendous pressure due to a shortage of empty containers due to epidemic-related control measures (such as border restrictions). The blockage of the Suez Canal in March aggravated the situation and caused further delays.
