Blockbuster! Shenzhen Government announced today: Yantian port began to fully restore on June 24, ship operations into normalization!!
Full restoration of the world's largest single container terminal will begin in two days
According to the exclusive latest information: today (June 22) at 5 PM, the Shenzhen Municipal government held a press conference on the prevention and control of the "May 21" epidemic in Shenzhen Yantian, as well as the resumption of production at Yantian International Container Terminal, and for the first time gave an official reply to several questions that the industry is most concerned about!
Yantian Port West Port area is now fully unsealed, start docking operations!
Among them, the West Port area of Yantian Port, where the first imported confirmed case was found and operations have been suspended for more than a month since May 21, has been fully unsealed and started docking operations today!
It is understood that the Yantian Port West Operation Area (West Port Area) mainly berths medium-sized container ships with a capacity of 3,000 TEU to 6,000 TEU. This is also the terminal operation site where the first confirmed case was discovered. It has been suspended for more than a month!
▲Yantian Xigang District
According to today’s press conference, the Yantian Port West Operation Area (West Port Area) will be fully unblocked and ship-to-ship operations will begin today!
The main port area of Yantian Port will be fully restored in two days, and ship berthing will gradually be normalized!
According to official information from today’s press conference: The main port area of Yantian Port is expected to fully resume from two days later, that is, June 24, and ship berthings will gradually be normalized!
By then, the yard density within the Yantian International Container Terminal may further decrease, and efficiency will steadily increase!
▲The world's largest single container terminal - Yantian Port
Yantian Port is one of the busiest ports in the world. As one of the container terminals with the largest single throughput in the world, Yantian Port is responsible for more than one-third of Guangdong Province’s foreign trade import and export and one-quarter of the country’s trade with the United States. Shenzhen Yantian Port last year handled nearly 50% more containers than Los Angeles, the busiest container port in the United States.
Therefore, the shutdown of Yantian Port caused by the epidemic has had a great impact on the global shipping and logistics industry. The news revealed at the Shenzhen government press conference today is also what the industry has been waiting for!
We look forward to the Shenzhen Yantian Port being resurrected as soon as possible, which is extremely critical not only to the recovery of southern China but also to the global shipping and logistics industry.
