Shanghai & Ningbo port congestion reaches 6\u201311 day waits as Typhoon Saudel cleanup begins. September GRIs total ~$1,000\/TEU. BMSB season starts 1 Sep. Latest update inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udccc Overall Market Status:<\/strong> \ud83d\udfe0 Elevated Disruption<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The China\u2013Australia shipping market remains under significant pressure following several consecutive typhoons and ongoing vessel bunching in East China. Shanghai and Ningbo remain the key congestion points<\/strong>, with vessel waiting times still elevated and carriers continuing to adjust schedules and port rotations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat:<\/strong> Global container congestion has now reached 4.3 million TEU<\/strong> waiting to berth worldwide\u2014surpassing COVID-era peaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udde8\ud83c\uddf3 China Port Updates<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shanghai \u2013 Critical Congestion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operations resumed following Typhoon Saudel (heavy container handling restarted at 12:00 on 28 August, empty container handling at 14:00). However, prior to the typhoon, the number of vessels awaiting unloading had reached 139<\/strong>\u2014a new high in nearly two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current vessel waiting times at Shanghai are approximately 6\u201311 days<\/strong> at some facilities, with Yangshan Terminal reporting waits of up to 12 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ningbo \u2013 Elevated Congestion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Operations have resumed following Typhoon Saudel, but accumulated vessel and cargo backlogs continue to affect schedule reliability. Approximately 77 container ships<\/strong> remain queued at Ningbo\u2014levels not seen throughout 2025 or 2026. Current waiting times are reported at 3\u20135 days<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Industry sources expect congestion recovery to take approximately three to four weeks<\/strong>, potentially overlapping with the traditional pre-National Day shipping rush in late September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South China \u2013 Monitor Closely<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ports remain operational, but delays from East China may continue to affect vessel rotations and equipment availability. Gate-in controls for ETB-7 remain in effect, with the container acceptance cap set at 120%<\/strong> of the maximum single-voyage load volume recorded for the route over the past three months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall:<\/strong> Further vessel bunching, port omissions and schedule changes are expected while carriers work through the backlog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddfa Australia Ports \u2013 Generally Operational<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Australian ports are currently operating, although Sydney and Melbourne remain under pressure<\/strong> from strong import volumes and off-schedule vessel arrivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Sydney \/ Port Botany:<\/strong> Berthing waiting time is approximately 3 days<\/strong>; about 72%<\/strong> of shipments fail to arrive on schedule.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Melbourne:<\/strong> Berthing waiting time is approximately 3 days<\/strong>; recent skipped port call recorded (ANL GIPPSLAND 092N omitted Melbourne).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Brisbane:<\/strong> Current port congestion appears relatively low compared with East China.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    \u23f3 Vessel Schedule & Capacity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Schedule reliability remains the main concern this week. The recent typhoons have created significant vessel bunching and schedule disruption across East China. Several carriers have responded with temporary port omissions, revised rotations and schedule recovery measures<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Service updates:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Service<\/td>Change<\/td>Impact<\/td><\/tr>

    Expected impact:<\/strong> Original ETD\/ETA schedules may continue to be delayed<\/strong> as carriers work through accumulated delays and vessel bunching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83d\udcc8 Freight Rate Trend \u2013 Rates Trending Upward<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    After the rate increases seen during August, carriers have announced further General Rate Increases (GRIs)<\/strong> for the China\u2013Australia trade:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Effective Date<\/td>Increase Amount<\/td>Source<\/td><\/tr>
    1 September<\/strong><\/td>USD 500\/TEU<\/strong> & USD 1,000\/FEU<\/strong><\/td>ANL Asia\u2013Australia Rate Restoration<\/td><\/tr>

    Combined impact:<\/strong> If both increases are fully implemented, this could mean approximately USD 1,100\/TEU<\/strong>, or USD 2,200 per 40′ container<\/strong>, above current levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The combination of port congestion, vessel bunching, port omissions and reduced effective capacity<\/strong> is creating conditions that support higher freight rates. However, the final level of each increase will depend on demand and how successfully carriers implement the announced GRIs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Our recommendation:<\/strong> For cargo planned to ship in September, we recommend requesting and confirming current all-in rates at the time of booking<\/strong>, rather than relying on older quotations. Where possible, securing space and rates earlier may help reduce exposure to further increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83c\udf2a\ufe0f Weather Alert \u2013 Typhoon Saudel: Situation Improving<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Typhoon Saudel made landfall in southern Zhejiang on 28 August<\/strong> and has since weakened. Shanghai and Ningbo terminals have reopened, with container yards, warehouses and other operations progressively resuming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, the immediate weather disruption has now shifted into a schedule-recovery problem<\/strong>. Vessels delayed by the typhoon are arriving in bunches, contributing to continued congestion and longer waiting times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Critical context:<\/strong> This marks the third typhoon closure<\/strong> for Shanghai and Ningbo in as many months, following Typhoons Bavi and Dolphin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At this stage, the main risk is no longer a direct typhoon shutdown, but the knock-on effect of the accumulated backlog<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83d\udc1b BMSB Season 2026\/27 \u2013 Effective 1 September<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Australia’s 2026\/27 Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB) season begins 1 September 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Key requirements:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Seasonal measures apply to goods manufactured in or shipped from designated target risk countries<\/strong> between 1 September 2026 and 30 April 2027<\/strong> (based on shipped-on-board date)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Target high-risk goods<\/strong> require mandatory BMSB treatment by a DAFF-approved provider<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Target risk goods<\/strong> may be subject to random inspection<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Break bulk cargo<\/strong> (including flat racks and open-top containers) must be treated offshore<\/strong> before arrival\u2014onshore treatment is not permitted<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • China continues to be classified as an emerging risk country<\/strong>, resulting in increased random inspections<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Target high-risk categories include:<\/strong> Wood products, ceramic products, glass and glassware, iron and steel, aluminium and other base metals, machinery and electrical equipment, vehicles and parts, ships and other vessels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Our recommendation:<\/strong> Importers should ensure affected cargo is correctly treated and documented under the new seasonal requirements to avoid potential customs or clearance delays. Early confirmation of applicable requirements is strongly recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \ud83d\udca1 What We Recommend This Week<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      For shipments with firm delivery deadlines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Book earlier<\/strong> \u2014 vessel availability may remain tight while carriers recover their schedules. Some forwarders recommend booking 3\u20134 weeks ahead<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Allow additional buffer time<\/strong> \u2014 do not rely solely on the original carrier ETA.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Confirm the latest vessel schedule before dispatch<\/strong>, particularly for Shanghai and Ningbo cargo.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Check BMSB requirements<\/strong> for cargo shipping to Australia from 1 September onward.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. Consider alternative services or routings<\/strong> if your cargo is urgent and the delivery deadline is critical.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      6. Lock in rates early<\/strong> where possible to avoid exposure to further GRIs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        A:<\/strong> Industry sources expect congestion recovery to take approximately three to four weeks<\/strong>, potentially overlapping with the pre-National Day shipping rush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \ud83d\udce2 Our Professional Recommendation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The situation in East China is gradually moving from weather disruption to schedule recovery<\/strong>, but the accumulated backlog is likely to continue affecting vessel schedules in the coming weeks. With port congestion, vessel bunching, multiple GRIs and the start of BMSB season<\/strong> all converging in September, proactive planning is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        For September shipments, we recommend planning earlier, maintaining sufficient delivery buffer, checking the latest vessel schedule before cargo is dispatched, and confirming BMSB compliance requirements<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        We will continue monitoring the China\u2013Australia trade lane and keep you informed of any material changes that may affect your shipments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
