Those persons, cities, and countries feeling the impact of the novel coronavirus outbreak are in our thoughts and we wish for a quick solution and an end to the associated suffering.
正在持续关注受本次新型冠状病毒疫情影响的国家、城市和居民，我们深深地祝福本次疫情在最短的时间内得到解决并将影响降到最低。

With the novel coronavirus continuing to spread rapidly in mainland China, factories have remained closed for an extended holiday period. Ocean carriers have announced several additional post-holiday voided and blank sailings due to the dramatic decline in shipping volumes coming out of China.
随着新型冠状病毒疫情在中国大陆的快速蔓延，许多工厂仍在等待复工，船公司也因此取消了一系列的班轮，来应对短期内急速减少的出口需求。

Preliminary estimates by Alphaliner indicate China’s response to the coronavirus and carrier reaction to the extended Lunar New Year holidays will cut the country’s first quarter container volume by more than six million TEU, and shave 0.7 percent off global volume for the full year. And the full impact of the Chinese coronavirus outbreak on container volumes will not be fully measurable until ports announce their throughput numbers for the first quarter.
目前滞留在中国港口的冷藏温控箱的形势严峻。其中，上海港堆积了大量需要分拨到中国地方的冷藏箱。现阶段最大的瓶颈是，温控集装箱可能在没有规划的情况下，被堆存到能停靠的港口，甚至存在退运回启运港的极端情况。例如马士基和以星船公司已经针对每个运抵上海和天津新港温控集装箱征收一千美金的拥堵附加费。可以预见在企业完全复工和卡车公司恢复运作之前，情况将无法得到改善。

Refrigerated (reefer) container congestion is worsening in Chinese ports. For example, the port of Shanghai has exhausted reefer plug availability with containers waiting to be picked up for delivery to multiple Chinese destinations. As a result of this bottleneck, incoming containers may be discharged in an alternative port without notice and, subject to availability, be on-forwarded to the original intended port of destination. Carriers such as Maersk and Zim are announcing a USD $1000 congestion surcharge per container for all reefer cargo arriving into Shanghai and Xingang. Until the Chinese work force and trucking companies are back at work, this situation may not resolve itself anytime soon.
与其同时，船公司还在持续地将货物分拨到临近的亚洲其他港口，大量的需要运抵中国的集装箱目前滞留在韩国。首尔港务局在报告中提到，近期集装箱堆场的使用率达到80%，超出以往平均值5%。港务局将为14,400标准箱在首尔新港以及850标准箱在南港提供临时存储。

Carriers continue to divert cargo to other Asian ports; South Korean shipyards are now clogged with containers intended for Chinese ports. Incheon Port Authority indicated the container storage yard utilization ratio of four container terminals was at around 80 percent, up five percent from the average figure in recent days. The Port Authority also stated that it will temporarily create two container storage spaces in Incheon New Port for 14,400 TEU and a space for 850 TEU in South Port.

With this complex situation continuing to evolve for China’s export and import cargo, it is critical to work with all of the parties involved in your supply chain.
为应对目前复杂而严峻的中国进出口形势，我们强烈建议您和供应链的上下游伙伴通力协作，共克时坚。

Here are just a few supply chain-related considerations:
我们建议您从以下几个角度入手：

• When will your factories be open again?
• 您的工厂何时复工？
• When will you begin to ship?
• 您的货物何时出运？
• What volumes do you expect to ship each week?
• 你预计每周出运的货量？
• What will the immediate future in terms of production look like from your factories?
• 您的产线是否能立刻恢复到年前状态？
• Do you have deadlines to meet with your customers at destination?
• 您对目的港客户的承诺交期能否满足？
• Are there special handling requirements for your cargo? Out of Gauge or Hazardous etc..
• 您的货物是否有特殊运输需求？例如超大尺寸或者危险品等？

Working closely with your logistics partner is, now more than ever, crucial for minimizing delays in your supply chain. At the moment, all steamship lines and terminals are operating, with the exception of the port in Wuhan.
为将特殊时期对供应链的冲击降到最低，现在比以往任何时候都迫切需要您和您的物流合作伙伴密切沟通。同时我们想和您分享，当前除了武汉，中国的其他港口和船公司都在正常运作。
