Fight against Covid-19 and Resume Terminal Operations

YANTIAN Resumes Normal Operations in the Shortest Time

Over the past month, YANTIAN has faced tough challenges of restoring full operations while ensuring COVID-19 prevention and control measures are in place. It has been racing against time to minimize the impact of the pandemic on terminal operations.

With the full support and guidance from various government departments, YANTIAN has conducted nucleic acid tests for all its staff members, arranged dedicated dorms and dorm-to-port transport for frontline operators, and put in place a full set of precautionary measures for onboard operations. All staff members of YANTIAN have united as one to fight against the pandemic and do their part to restore normal terminal operations.

Since June 24, YANTIAN has resumed operations at all its 20 berths. Now it handles approximately 40,000 TEU and about 20,000 tractors at the gatehouse on a daily basis, both of which have returned to normal levels. All major shipping lines have resumed their vessel calls at YANTIAN, and more importantly, the port has welcomed a number of new services. All these are testament to the confidence of cargo owners and shipping lines in YANTIAN’s resilience and emergency preparedness. The full recovery of YANTIAN’s terminal operations has helped to maintain the normal operation of international trade and the global supply chain.
