East Asian gateways log long vessel waits as Typhoon Saudel hits

Summary

Kuehne+Nagel's port update (26 Aug-1 Sep) shows vessel waiting times of about 9 days at Shanghai and 4 days at Ningbo after Typhoon Saudel, with Busan around 3 days and Singapore about 2 days. Pre-peak cargo and typhoon-related disruptions are pressuring landside truck capacity and berth buffers, raising the risk of rolled cargo and schedule slippage for Asia exports.
