A typhoon is approaching Guangdong, floods are spreading across Europe, and cross-border logistics will be affected!

The Central Meteorological Observatory issued a typhoon blue warning on July 19. Typhoon Chapaka, the seventh typhoon this year , is expected to make landfall in the coastal area from Shenzhen to Maoming in Guangdong between the night of the 20th and the early morning of the 21st .

The strong winds and heavy rains caused by the typhoon have a significant impact on the shipping plans of ports and terminals in coastal areas. Meteorological experts remind the public in Guangdong and Hainan to continue to pay attention to the latest developments of Typhoon Chapaka, do a good job in relevant defense, and return to port and offshore workers in the northern waters of the South China Sea to take shelter in time.

At 14:30 on July 19, the official platform of Yantian Port Smart Logistics issued a typhoon defense notice:

The notice shows that due to the impact of this year's No. 7 typhoon "Chapaka", the Shenzhen Meteorological Observatory issued a typhoon blue warning signal. YICT will stop the empty container pick-up service at 16:30, and the full container delivery service will remain normal.

This year's seventh typhoon "Chapaka" is a typical weak typhoon with heavy rainfall. In the next week, the central and southern regions of the Pearl River Delta will experience heavy rain to torrential rain or extremely heavy rain, accompanied by strong winds of 6 to 8 levels. It is expected that flights and shipping in Guangdong will continue to be affected in the next week .

Now let's turn our attention to Europe. Not long ago, a severe flood broke out in the Rhine River Basin in Europe, and Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and other countries were severely affected. Among them, unprecedented mountain torrents and mudslides occurred in western Germany, and the German meteorological department called it a "once-in-a-millennium" flood.

Floods have broken out in many parts of Europe, and some areas have declared a state of emergency. It is expected that there will be delays in the transportation of goods in many parts of Europe in the coming period. In this regard, sellers and freight forwarders must make good shipping arrangements and arrange shipments reasonably to prevent bad weather from affecting shipping and causing serious losses.

The typhoon is coming to South China and floods are devastating Europe, which poses a severe test to foreign trade shipping! Freight forwarders and cargo owners who have shipped recently are requested to pay attention to the weather and adjust their shipping plans in time to avoid the risk of cargo delays and damage to cargo caused by water!
