Further Congestion Expected at Shanghai & Ningbo Ports Due to Typhoon Shadell
Aug 27 2026
Overview
Following our previous announcement, Shanghai and Ningbo ports continue to be impacted by the backlog caused by the previous typhoon. Although port operations have gradually resumed, vessel delays and schedule disruptions remain.
Impact of Typhoon Shadell
As Typhoon Shadell approaches the eastern coast of China, port operations may face further disruption depending on the typhoon’s path and intensity. Potential impacts include:
• Temporary operational restrictions or suspensions
• Delayed vessel arrivals and departures
• Changes to port calls and berthing schedules on short notice
• Additional congestion and vessel queues outside port limits
Any further disruption could add to the existing backlog and prolong current vessel and schedule delays. A shortened operational window could result in additional vessels accumulating outside the ports and may further affect sailing schedules and container movements.
