In China, the October 1–7 national holiday and September typhoons (Yangshan closed for up to 54 hours) piled up cargo in Shanghai and Ningbo. Activity resumed on October 8 with a peak of pending clearances, and a 10 to 14-day backlog is expected.
Shanghai–Buenos Aires transit time remains 30 to 40 days. Schedule reliability to the east coast of South America improved in September, but some services no longer call directly at Buenos Aires and connect via transshipment in Brazil. The escalation in the Strait of Hormuz keeps pressure on freight rates and vessel space.
