By then, the density of the yard inside Yantian International Container Terminal may further decrease and the efficiency will steadily recover!
▲ Yantian Port, the world's largest single container terminal
Yantian Port is one of the busiest ports in the world. As one of the container terminals with the largest single throughput in the world, Yantian Port is responsible for more than one third of Guangdong's foreign trade and one quarter of the national trade with the United States. Shenzhen's Yantian port handled nearly 50 per cent more containers last year than Los Angeles, the busiest container port in the US.
Therefore, the shutdown of Yantian Port caused by the epidemic has had a great impact on the global shipping and logistics industry. The news revealed by the Shenzhen government at today's press conference is also long-awaited by the industry!
We look forward to the full revival of Shenzhen Yantian Port as soon as possible, which is crucial to the recovery of not only South China but also the global shipping and logistics industry.
