Another typhoon threatens to reverse easing port congestion in East Asia

Maersk reports continued week-on-week declines in waiting times at east China ports, but Typhoon Champi could disrupt vessel movements and undermine the recovery.

Congestion may be easing in eastern China, according to the report. Typhoon Champi is expected to sweep across the north-east coast of Taiwan the day after the report was published, raising concerns that disruption to vessel movements could undo benefits carriers are seeing in China.

Maersk told customers that waiting times at ports along the east China coast were continuing to decline week on week. The carrier said its wider east Asian network was stabilising after disruption from earlier typhoons.
