Update from China on COVID-19 restrictions

The pandemic situation remains unchanged in China. This results in further current developments in air, sea and land transport, which we would like to inform you about in the following, as they may have an impact on your supply chain:

Air freight:

  • The city of Zhengzhou has implemented restrictions on road transportation for two weeks starting April 15. Highway entries are closed, therefore, trucking service between Zhengzhou Airport (CGO) and other cities, including Shanghai, is likely to be affected.
  • Due to the pandemic measures in Shanghai, many cargo aircrafts are diverted from PVG Airport to other airports in China. Guangzhou Airport (CAN) and Shenzhen Airport (SZX) are experiencing import cargo congestions. Some terminals at the two airports have announced short-term import control measures, which may have an impact on some airlines, depending on which terminal they use.
  • Despite the challenges, the network capability of DACHSER has improved compared to last week. Import and export shipments are handled effectively by using road feeder services between Shanghai and the alternative airports. DACHSER’s capacity situation has eased on both sides of our North China- and EMEA gateways.

Sea freight:

  • The situation in Shanghai, Jiangsu Province and Zhejiang Province persists with overload, low efficiency and dynamic road restrictions, making it increasingly difficult to handle sea freight shipment out of Shanghai. The teams of DACHSER in Shanghai, Ningbo, Suzhou and Nanjing are working closely together to provide solutions wherever it is possible.
  • Meanwhile, Dalian, Tianjin and Qingdao are stable with no impacts from COVID-19 restrictions.

The situation continues to change rapidly. Local representative at DACHSER will be happy to answer any questions regarding shipments and possible alternatives.

The new DACHSER magazine is here!

Climate change has become a part of everyday life. Politicians and the public alike discuss and disagree about what changes are unavoidable in the short term, what has to happen in the long term, and especially how all this is to be managed. At DACHSER, we’re aware of our responsibility to do what we can to protect the climate. What’s more, we want to be at the forefront of climate action in logistics.

Updates about Ningbo Beilun Port

Due to COVID-19 alert, there has been a temporary closure of the Ningbo Beilun Port. The situation is now improving and the following updates have occurred:

  • In general, restrictions within the Beilun district have been gradually easing since October 24, 2022.
  • Certain areas in the district have been opened and served as a “green channel” allowing FCL and LCL trucks with permits to enter and exit the sea port area.
  • More and more truck drivers are granted "green code", a permit that allows truckers to pass through highway checkpoints and enter the port.
  • Facilities or logistics companies on the white list and with traffic permits are starting to resume operations.

With the easing of restrictions, DACHSER in Ningbo has taken the following actions to facilitate the movement of cargo:

  • For LCL, the warehouse of DACHSER has resumed cargo receiving since October 24, 2022.
  • The teams of DACHSER have been giving guidance to suppliers for applying traffic permits or other necessary passes so that they can deliver cargo smoothly to the warehouse. The process for application may take time, but it is gradually moving.
  • For FCL, the trucking situation has improved and is almost back to a normal level.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your usual DACHSER representative for information about your shipment.
