China’s Yantian Port closes as Cyclone reached the coastline

Posted on October 21, 2021   |  

  • The number of ships waiting outside China’s Yantian Port in Shenzhen increased to 67, most since August.
  • Yantian Port suspended pickup and drop off of containers as tropical cyclone Kompasu reached the southern coastline.
  • China, the world's biggest manufacturer, witnessed many disruptions this year as Covid-19 outbreaks at ports, along with shortages in shipping containers and labor have exacerbated the problem and have led to the curtailment of port operations.
