A critical area of the Ningbo Port has resumed operation after a two-week unjustified shutdown as a result of a case of COVID in a port worker. Testing of residents in the Meishan community showed negative COVID assays although control measures will continue including testing of international crews who are required to remain onboard during unloading and loading of their vessels.

On Friday August 20th, 68 container vessels were awaiting a berth but the backlog is being reduced with the hope of attaining less than 20 vessels as in 2019, pre-COVID. The Meishan terminal is an important port of entry for U.S. chicken products. Port delays result in additional freight costs and demurrage, reducing margins for importers.
