Meishan Terminal MSICT accounts for approximately 25% of Zhoushan Port’s throughput, which has raised concerns about supply chain disruption. However, other terminals in Ningbo are far away from this terminal, which indicates that the epidemic may be limited to MSICT. A freight forwarder said optimistically, “Many people are being tested for Covid-19 and no positive cases have been reported so far. I am optimistic that if Covid-19 ceases to spread, the impact will not be as great as Yantian. I am very confident. "

James Wroe, chief operating officer of Maersk Asia Pacific, said that the closure of the port "obviously will cause direct interference and the risk of further congestion in the surrounding ports when ships and cargo seek diversion." However, he added that most of Maersk’s services are located in the Beilun Port Area, which is 20 to 40 kilometers away from Meishan Wharf. “Therefore, our services have not been significantly affected at the moment.”

Otto Schacht, Executive Vice President of Dexun Marine Logistics, said: The main trade focus of Meishan Terminal is FEWB and TPEB. All other terminals remain open. All terminals are congested, and the average waiting time for berths is 2-3 days. Ligentia told customers that Ningbo’s LCL business may be delayed. "
