Normally, Yangtze River suffers dry season for 7 months from Oct. to April next year, reducing water depths varyingly at middle and upper reaches. Responding to this situation, load reduction is required to different extent in accordance with ship sizes, which unavoidably results in a decline in container capacity. Adding to this complex, congestion has been preying on Three Gorges ship lock since Oct. 2017. All the factors lead to the pile-up of transshipment cargo at the middle and upper reaches of Yangtze River. We’d like to offer our sincere apology for any inconvenience it may have caused you.
To ensure cargo safety, COSCO PANASIA Shipping has taken various measures to mitigate dry season effect such as “Wuhan Transit”, “Yichang Loading” and also provide “River-Rail Transport” and "Lift Ship Express” services as an easy access for this situation. Please follow COSCO Shipping Lines website for more solutions to be offered for your convenience.
Thank you for your trust and support. Feel free to contact us if there is any problem.
