According to the latest epidemic situation announcement issued by Shanghai, China, from June 1, enterprises in the whole Shanghai will resume production and operation in an orderly manner. This is a major turning point for the shipping industry.

As Shanghai is about to be unsealed, the operation of Shanghai port, the world's largest port, has gradually returned to normal.

CMA CGM, the world's third largest shipping company, said that the pressure on storage yard resources in Shanghai is easing, and as more port employees return to work, the waiting time for ships outside the port will be further shortened.

Sea intelligence, a famous shipping consultancy, recently said that according to the current ship deployment, shipping companies will significantly increase the trans Pacific capacity from the 22nd week, while the capacity of Asia Europe routes is relatively small, which may indicate that the peak season in 2022 will start ahead of schedule.

A French logistics group pointed out that as the number of infected people in Shanghai fell to hundreds in mid May, the world's busiest container port is returning to normal.

Drury estimated that 260000 TEUs of export goods had not been shipped from Shanghai in April alone. It also warned in a new report that it would further challenge the transportation capacity in the peak season in the coming months.

An expert said: "the closure of Waigaoqiao has ended. Therefore, the container freight station, container yard and other facilities related to Waigaoqiao have gradually returned to normal in the past week. Therefore, the traffic congestion in Yangshan has been alleviated."

Vesselsvalue, another famous shipping agency, commented on May 27 that congestion in Shanghai is still high at some time of the year, but it is steadily returning to normal as the epidemic subsides.

At present, the average waiting time of container ships in Shanghai has dropped from the peak of 69 hours in late April to 36 hours, but it is still about 13 hours higher than that in the same period in 2021.

On May 26, the Ministry of transport held a press conference. Vice minister lihuaqiang said that last week, the container throughput of Shanghai had recovered to 95.3% of the level before the outbreak. Container freight volume has also rebounded to 90% of the pre pandemic level.

Simon sundboell, founder of eesea, a Danish liner analysis platform, said that there was no worrying "container tsunami effect" at present. But that does not mean that this will not happen later. "

According to HSBC, it now takes 104 days for a container ship to travel from China to the United States, compared with less than 50 days before the outbreak. According to the current situation, the time required will remain at about 100 days.
