Typhoons Saudel and Dolphin snarl East China ports; Shanghai waits hit ~9 days

Summary

Successive typhoons Saudel and Dolphin have disrupted East China port operations, with Kuehne+Nagel listing Shanghai vessel waiting times at roughly 9 days, Ningbo at 4 days and Shenzhen absorbing diversions from northern gateways. Singapore transshipment waits hold near 2 days on feeder variability. Shippers should build buffer into Asia-Europe and transpacific schedules and expect rolled cargo through mid-September.
