Dilemma & logistics under the epidemic situation in Shanghai

May 17, 2022

It is now the 3rd year since the COVID-19 began at the end of 2019. Although governments of all countries are trying to control the epidemic and put out the epidemic, new variants continue to appear due to the characteristics of the virus, which also leads to the gradual normalization of the epidemic.

Since March, Shanghai has ushered in a new round of epidemic. The sudden epidemic has brought a certain degree of crisis and test to Shanghai, an international metropolis, and the people of the city.

Taking cross-border logistics as an example, Shanghai is an international port city. In 2021, the container throughput of Shanghai Port exceeded 47 million TEUs, with a year-on-year increase of 8%, ranking first in the world for 12 consecutive years.

However, affected by the epidemic, there was a labor shortage in Shanghai port and the land transportation was blocked, which had a negative impact on the foreign trade logistics industry.

With the introduction of the differentiated prevention and control policies of the Shanghai municipal government, more and more factories and enterprises are gradually returning to work and production. COSCO Shipping has provided counter services in Shanghai to facilitate customers to handle relevant import and export business.

Then, the "white list" of the first batch of resumption of work and production of Shanghai postal express industry was announced. Is it just around the corner for Shanghai to unseal, restore living order and open Shanghai port?

Perhaps even we Chinese do not fully know that Shanghai port is the largest logistics exchange port in the world. No port in the world can replace it. It accounts for more than 70% of the total transit volume in Asia, and Rotterdam, known as the largest port in Europe, is far from comparable.

Reading till here, you maybe so much worry about importing from China, is it mean all factory goods can't ship out because of Shanghai situation.
