LIANYUNGANG, CHINA (AFP) – Towering cranes work overtime swinging containers from cargo vessels in the eastern Chinese port of Lianyungang, racing to keep ahead of a perfect storm unleashed by the pandemic that has created gridlock in global shipping.
As the huge containers were flung onto trucks with a thunderous clang, Shi Jiangang, a top official with Chinese shipping company Bondex Logistics, reflected on the backlog.
“It’s been a very great challenge,” he said. The ship being offloaded was a South Korean vessel that normally also carries passengers but has been given over entirely to cargo. In the distance, a fleet of other vessels waited offshore. Lianyungang is not alone.
Synopsis
The situation arose last year as the expanding pandemic jammed the sprawling, predictable patterns by which shipping containers are shared around the world s ports.
