Nansha Port Emerges as Alternative to the Congested Yantian Port

In the Guangdong province of China, Yantian Port has now become infamous among the shipping lines for its container congestion. In the struggling hours of Yantian Port, the Nansha International container Terminal has surfaced as a possible alternative to Yantian.

See the graph below for a history of Brazilian exports to the ports of Yantian and Nansha since January 2019:

Major shipping lines are canceling calls to Yantian because of the high waiting time for vessels to dock. Acting over the opportunity, the Guangzhou Port Company took initiatives at Nansha port to curb the risk of the pandemic and presented Nansha as an alternative to Yantian. Vessel tracking data from FleetMon suggests that the congestion at Yantian has forced THE Alliance, a nexus of HMM, Ocean Network Express, Yang Ming, and Hapag Lloyd to swap calls from Yantian to Nansha. On 2 June 2021, THE Alliance made the maiden call to Nansha, the sub-port of Guangzhou with the berthing of vessel AL ZUBARA (19,870 TEU).
