*BREAKING* Due to Covid-19, China has shut down terminal at Ningbo Port, 5th busiest port in the world 

According to the South China Morning Post, on Wed Aug 11, 2021 “China’s Ningbo-Zhoushan Port, has closed one of its terminals (Meishan) indefinitely after a vaccinated worker tested positive for the coronavirus.”

What does this mean?

If you have an upcoming sea freight shipment shipping out of FOB Ningbo Port – you should check with your freight forwarder now about the impact of the Meishan Terminal closure.

What can you do? 

Supply Chain professionals are quickly shifting shipments to the Port of Shanghai.  However that may come at an additional cost and capacity may fill up quickly as Shanghai is already the busiest port in the world.  

Takeaway: Remember what the 7 and 8 Figure Sellers at the 7 Figure Seller Summit are saying – Be agile and pivot quickly!!

“New technologies, such as AR, 5G, and more seamless buying through one-touch systems like Apple Pay or Google Pay, will continue to drive growth in the future. 

New channels—including social commerce, live shopping, and influencer direct selling—will also spur growth.”

If you’re selling on Amazon or Ecommerce, it makes sense to optimize your listings to consider shoppers who are browsing on their phones and tablets.  This trend will only grow bigger and bigger.
