Typhoon in Asia closes ports of Yantian, Hong Kong, Shekou, Chiwan, Da Chan



Good afternoon All

I've just received this bulletin which is important news for any customers exporting to or importing from China, especially as 5 ports are affected.
Let's hope there are no more incidents like the MOL Comfort which split into two when encountering heavy seas. See our earlier bulletin regarding MOL Comfort.

Typhoon Utor


Heavy rain, strong winds and waves of up to ten meters are causing transport chaos in southern China, Macau and Hong Kong today as Typhoon Utor sweeps through the region.

Operations at most terminals in the ports of Hong Kong, Yantian, Da Chan, Shekou and Chiwan have been suspended until further notice and more than 200 flights have so far been cancelled or suffered heavy delays at Hong Kong International Airport due to the typhoon.


Kind Regards


Andy Cliff
