Carriers announce 39 blank sailings after Golden Week
Drewry’s tracker shows 39 blanked sailings announced from Week 41 to Week 45 across the transpacific, transatlantic and Asia–Europe deepsea east-west trades as shippers assess capacity returning from Asia after China’s Golden Week.
With China’s Golden Week holiday under way and factories closed, supply chain planners are focused on calculating shipping capacity out of Asia once Chinese workers return and container flows pick up again.
According to Drewry’s Cancelled Sailings tracker, 39 blanked sailings have been announced between Week 41 (5–11 October) and Week 45 (2–8 November). They cover three deepsea east-west trades: transpacific, transatlantic and Asia–Europe.
The announcements show carriers setting post-Golden Week blank sailing schedules while shippers weigh the effect on available capacity.
