We would like to take this opportunity to remind you about the Chinese New Year. In 2025, the main holiday will take place between January 29 and February 4, meaning that for most of weeks 5 and 6, China will—as usual—shut down nearly all operations. The New Year is also celebrated elsewhere in Asia, such as in Hong Kong and Taiwan, though with slightly different dates. As is customary, Chinese production tends to be slow to restart after the holidays, and many companies remain closed for longer than just one week.
We are continuously working to find the best solutions for you as a customer when it’s time to book transport.
This year, we celebrate the Year of the Snake.
The port reopened this morning, and operations have resumed. Higher-than-usual pressure is expected throughout the day, and some delays may occur. However, the port is working hard to minimize the impact of the recent bad weather.

We like to remind you about the Chinese New Year, which falls early this year. In 2023, the main holiday is celebrated between 21st and 29th January which means that in week 4, China shuts down almost all of its activities as usual. The New Year is also celebrated elsewhere in Asia, such as in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but then with slightly different dates.
