Kuehne+Nagel's customer advisory of 28 July 2026 marked Ningbo, Shanghai, Qingdao, Xiamen, Shenzhen and Guangzhou all as 'heavily disrupted' following the successive impact of typhoons Bavi and Hongxia on East and South China. Shanghai's seven-day average delay reached 4.56 days, while Hapag-Lloyd reported berthing waits of 144 hours for non-Gemini services at Shanghai Yangshan, 48 hours at Ningbo and 72 hours at Qingdao. Industry estimates put the cumulative capacity affected at close to 2 million TEU, with mainline services cancelling or reordering Shanghai and Ningbo calls and Asia-Latin America strings transshipping through Busan and Singapore; the formation of Typhoon No. 13 added further schedule risk.
