The <\/span>Shanghai<\/b> government evacuated at least 28,000 people, closed schools, parks and suspended subway operations in the face of the imminent arrival of <\/span>Chanthu, a typhoon<\/b> that lost strength, but which hit Chinese territory on Monday as a tropical storm, with strong winds and gusts of rain. The impact of Chanthu is spreading to the economy, with the <\/span>cancellation of flights <\/b>and the suspension of activities in the <\/span>port terminals<\/b>, in Shanghai, Ningbo and Xiamen<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

As of Monday morning, the storm, which passed through <\/span>Taiwan<\/b> on Sunday without hitting the ground, was already causing <\/span>eight-meter-high waves<\/b> off the coast of Shanghai. According to the state broadcaster CCTV, the evacuated areas of the city were the most vulnerable to the passage of Chanthu.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shanghai, <\/b>the financial capital of China with 25 million inhabitants, has two airports, in addition to the port with the largest container movement in the world: 43.5 million teus last year. Both airports have flights canceled on Mondays and Tuesdays, at least.<\/span><\/p>\n

In neighboring <\/span>Zhejiang <\/b>province, shipping and container activities have been suspended since Friday. Zhejiang also closed schools and disrupted air and rail services in several cities.<\/span>

Aftermath of the Typhoon<\/b><\/h3>\n

In an industry that is already in a space crisis, the passage of a typhoon, which causes the suspension and cancellation of flights and maritime services, means\u00a0<\/span>an even <\/span>more repressed demand<\/b>. Especially when it comes to China, which has been setting export records.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the Bloomberg news site recalls, Asian ports have become one of the bottlenecks in world trade, as European and American demand for goods outstrips the capacity of docks and ships.<\/span><\/p>\n

The good news is that <\/span>Craft already has a number of solutions <\/b>for potential impacts on operations. Count on us. And, if in doubt, write to us.<\/span><\/p>\n
