Notice about China autum holidays 2019

By the following to remind our clients about coming autumn holidays in China. Traditionally manufacturers/shippers will face lack of workers who will be going home during hollidays periods. So far producers already working hard to close current orders to arrange shipments ex China before holidays start.

 Schedule for the coming holidays is following:

* September 13-15 – Mid Autumn Festival;
* October 1-7 – National Day Golden Week;

 Basis above sadid following facts to be take into account:

* shippers might face shortage of workers thus as fact not be able to close orders before holidays;
* shipppers logistic company might face shortage of truckers thus can be problems with delivery full containers to port close to holiday periods;
* some container lines can/will cancel vessel calls to part of China ports;
* due to shipments rush containter lines can try to increase ocean rates, the same time we do not expect any serious rates increse;

Best traditional solution for our customers to get away from above stated issues is to avoid last minute purhases/shipments and to push seelers/shippers to close contracts way in advance.
