The eve of the Spring Festival is the traditional peak period. The surge in shipment volume caused the Yantian Terminal to be severely congested and nearly paralyzed. In order to alleviate the congestion, the Yantian Traffic Police Brigade adopted temporary traffic control, and container trucks were no longer allowed to enter some sections of the road.
Shanghai and Ningbo are not “peaceful” either. Due to changes in dock shipping schedules and upcoming factory holidays, most of the cabinets need to be prepaid or dropped off, and the warehouse becomes a storage yard, with temporary drop-off fees. A new high.
Yantian Port is paralyzed, emergency temporary traffic control!
Consignors who are rushing to ship goods before the end of the year have a headache. Starting from February 3, a large amount of goods poured into Yantian Port, resulting in a serious backlog of goods at the port. Yantian Port can only be described as “blocked, blocked, blocked.”
Some industry insiders said that Yantian Terminal has reached the limit of stacking heavy containers, and all places where heavy containers can be placed have been placed, including imports. Picking up the cabinets will also be very slow, and you have to rely on a ship to transport them away and then move out of the way to collect the cabinets.
According to the latest information released by Yantian Politics and Law:
On February 4, traffic restrictions have been implemented on the port dredging channel. Enter east and exit (gate B), enter west and exit west (gate A). If it is not necessary, you should try to avoid taking the Yanpai Expressway, Huiyan Expressway (Beishan Road and Mingzhu Road) and Yanba Expressway before traveling to avoid delaying your trip. When shipping, please ask the driver to arrange the time reasonably, stagger the delivery time, pick up the container, and travel in a civilized manner.
In order to cope with the peak of outbound freight from Yantian Port and alleviate the serious traffic congestion, the Yantian Traffic Police Brigade decided to take necessary temporary traffic control measures. Temporary traffic control is implemented at the Yong’an intersection of Beishan Road, the Yantian intersection of Wutongshan Avenue, the Wutongshan interchange of Yanpai Expressway, and the eastbound ramp of Beishan Road of Huishen Coastal Expressway, and container trucks are not allowed to enter.
After adjustment, enter Yantian Port route
1. Yanpai Expressway enters Gate A from north to south;
2. Go north to south on Mingzhu Avenue and enter Gate B;
3. Go westbound on the Huishen Coastal Expressway and go to Beishan Overpass and go south on Mingzhu Overpass and enter Gate B;
4. Yantian Container trucks heading towards the Ao Tunnel pass through Yongan Road and turn to Mingzhu Avenue southbound to enter Gate B.
According to feedback from the Shenzhen Container Trailer Transport Association based on communication with Yantian Terminal, the Yantian Port Terminal has reached the limit of stacking heavy containers, and all the places that can be stacked are full. The relevant person in charge of Yantian International said that it will Arrange for the transfer of some heavy containers to DP yards and other outfields in order to free up more heavy container spaces in the terminal. It will take 2-3 days for the serious queuing situation to be alleviated. We hope that everyone will communicate well with customers and try to postpone the shipment until after the year. Please reassure the driver to queue up patiently and avoid unnecessary troubles and disputes. Difficulties are temporary.
Don’t be surprised if Yantian Port is blocked like this. After all, Yantian Port is responsible for more than 1/3 of Guangdong Province’s foreign trade imports and exports and the country’s trade with the United States. 1/4 of the cargo volume. Despite the impact of the epidemic, Yantian Port’s annual container throughput still rose against the trend, reaching 13.348 million TEUs, achieving a year-on-year growth of 2.1%. </p
