Sea Freight: Disruptions at Ningbo and Tianjin ports

Regarding the disruptions at Ningbo ports, we would like to give you an update. Recently, a Covid outbreak has occurred in Tianjin. Below we offer you an overview of the current situation.

Ningbo

  • At Ningbo, the authority has downgraded the emergency level. Correspondingly, the temporary closure of the Beilun district is lifted, except the center of the epidemic.
  • Currently, most of the trucking companies are granted permits to enter the Beilun district. In general, our operation of FCL and LCL are mostly back to normal with some delays of vessels due to port congestion.
  • There are isolated Covid cases reported in the cities within the Zhejiang province, but it is not affecting the operations in Ningbo, except for pick-ups and deliveries from those locations.

Tianjin

Over the weekend, multiple Covid cases were reported in Tianjin and some of the cases were tested positive to the Omicron variants. In response to this incident, a mass PCR test campaign has been conducted for all residents in the city.

  • It is reported that four out of the eight sea freight terminals in Tianjin are closed, only vehicles with special permits are granted access to enter.
  • Pick-ups and deliveries in and from other provinces are unlikely under the current situation.
  • Pick-ups and deliveries within the city are also at a halt, as the residents of the whole city will be staying at home until the mass PCR test campaign is completed and the results are available.
  • At the DACHSER branch in Tianjin, our employees will work from home until the negative results are available.

We will continue to monitor the situation and rest assured that you will be informed of the developments. In case you have any questions, please contact your local representative of DACHSER for a discussion of possible transport alternatives.

Sea freight: Australia implements new fumigation measures
As of September 1, 2018, sea freight shipments to Australia must be fumigated against the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB). The new measures extend the previously common practice of fumigating sea freight packaging against BMSB to treating the entire contents of shipments. The BMSB season will be in effect for goods shipped to Australia between September 1, 2018, and April 30, 2019. As of August 24, 2018, Australian authorities have identified the following ten risk countries of origin:
 
  • United States
  • Italy
  • Germany
  • France
  • Russia
  • Greece
  • Hungary
  • Romania
  • Georgia
  • Japan

This list of BMSB risk countries may be revised by Australian authorities at any time. Goods that have been produced in, or transshipped through, these countries must be treated accordingly. This provision applies only to sea freight shipments. Project cargos, as well as LCL shipments, must already have been treated in the country of origin. The Australian authorities define two categories of goods that must be treated: ‘target high risk’ and ‘target risk’. Treatment options include heat treatment, methyl bromide fumigation (prohibited within the EU), and sulfuryl fluoride fumigation. Any untreated target risk goods will be immediately returned by Australian authorities at the shipper's expense.
