According to the latest exclusive information: Today (June 22) at 5 pm, the Shenzhen Municipal Government held a press conference to discuss the prevention and control of the "5.21" epidemic in Yantian, Shenzhen, and the resumption of production at the Yantian International Container Terminal. This is the first time to give official answers to several issues that the industry is most concerned about!
The west port area of Yantian Port will be fully unblocked from today, and operations by ship will begin!
Among them, the first imported confirmed case was found in the west port area of Yantian Port, which has been suspended for more than a month since May 21, and has been fully unblocked from today, and began to operate by ship!
It was learned that the west operation area of Yantian Port (West Port Area) mainly berths medium-sized container ships with a capacity of 3000Teu-6000Teu, and is also the terminal operation site where the first confirmed case was found. It has been closed for over a month now!
▲Yantian West Port Area
According to the announcement of today's press conference, the west operation area of Yantian Port (West Port Area) will be fully unblocked from today, and operations by ship will begin!
The main port area of Yantian Port will be fully restored in two days, and the normalization of ship berthing will be gradually realized!
According to the official information from today's press conference: the main port area of Yantian Port is expected to fully recover from June 24 in two days, and the normalization of ship berthing will be gradually realized!
By then, the yard density in Yantian International Container Terminal may further decrease, and the efficiency will rise steadily!
▲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 1/3 of Guangdong's foreign trade import and export and 1/4 of the country's trade with the United States. Shenzhen's Yantian port handled nearly 50 percent more containers last year 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 the industry's long-awaited news!
It is expected that Shenzhen Yantian Port will be resurrected as soon as possible, which is extremely critical not only to South China, but also to the recovery of the global shipping and logistics industry.
