🚨 Super Typhoon Yagi is on track to be the most powerful storm to hit China in nearly a decade, and we're already seeing its impact on major ports in the region. 🌪️ With port operations disrupted and terminal operations at Yantian, Shekou, and Chiwan suspended, our data indicates daily vessel berthing has dropped to nearly zero at certain ports. (Please refer to the charts for details) Yagi now ranks as the second-most powerful tropical cyclone worldwide in 2024, just after Hurricane Beryl. 🌊 We hope those in the affected regions stay safe! #TyphoonYagi #Yagi #Storm #SupplyChain #WeatherImpact #SuperTyphoonYagi #PortVisibility #StaySafe #ChinaPorts #China #Hongkong

🌊 Rough seas continue to challenge vessels navigating between Asia and Europe, especially near South Africa. 🌩️ 🚢 MSC Antonia: Last week, the 6,966 TEU MSC Antonia lost 46 containers overboard during severe weather, with another 305 containers damaged. The South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) has warned nearby vessels and called for public reports on any sightings of the lost cargo. 🚢 CMA CGM Belem: Days before, the CMA CGM Belem docked safely at Ngqura port after losing nearly 100 containers overboard due to bad weather near Richards Bay on Aug 15th. 🚢 CMA CGM Benjamin Franklin: On July 9th, the 18,000 TEU CMA CGM Benjamin Franklin lost 40 containers off South Africa's east coast. ⚓ In the recent MSC Antonio incident, we informed our customers with containers on the vessel about the delays and changes to ETAs. Containers still onboard might experience a delay of 4-5 days in reaching their respective ports of destination.

Last Thursday, the 13,000 TEU container vessel, CMA CGM Belem, lost 99 containers off the east coast of South Africa due to severe weather conditions. The South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) has issued a navigational warning to vessels in the area and is urging the public to report any sightings of the lost containers. This is the second ship from CMA CGM to experience a container spill in the region within a month. Just weeks earlier, the 18,000 TEU CMA CGM Benjamin Franklin also lost 40 containers in the same area. We've been actively keeping our customers informed about the status of their containers following both incidents.
