Summer is the season when typhoons are prevalent. Typhoon Bebejia on the 13th just passed last week, and Typhoon Prasang on the 14th came this week. The seamless typhoons have had a great impact on people’s lives. Many industries in the affected areas have suspended work, schools have suspended classes, and fishermen have suspended sea operations. In addition to the above impacts on local areas, typhoon weather also has a huge impact on international trade. During the typhoon season, the foreign trade salesperson is most worried not about having no orders, but about having orders but suffering losses due to natural disasters such as typhoons.
What impact will typhoons have on shipments?
Typhoons can easily lead to congestion in yards, roads and ports, and this year’s typhoons will pass through some important port traffic arteries. The strong winds and heavy rainfall caused by typhoons may cause port closures and delays in shipping; or cause losses such as waterlogging of containers, moisture and damage to goods, such as Shanghai Port
Air transport: In order to ensure the safety of aircraft and cargo, airports generally suspend flights or wait for the typhoon to pass when encountering typhoons and super typhoons.
Sea transportation: The container may be blown off the ground by the wind when hanging in the yard, and the port will generally be closed for safety reasons.
Land transportation: For safety reasons, some bridges and roads will be closed.
So in the summer of each year, whether you are preparing to purchase or export goods, you must pay attention to extreme weather conditions, be mentally prepared for cargo delays, and pay more attention to the weather forecast of the National Meteorological Observatory.
We are also a Chinese factory that produces towels and bathrobe textiles. The shipping plan for the past week has been delayed due to the typhoon weather. In the next new week, everything will be on track. Please wait patiently.
