· Europe -Shipping Tips:
1. Ocean shipping is not recommended to go to the ports of German, since congestion there can’t be eased in the short term.
The problems of German ports involve many aspects, including the shortage of labor, railway congestion, crane equipment maintenance, the people’s summer break, the corona pandemic and many other problems, lead to port congestion, which will not be recovered in the short term, so it is suggested to consider other ports.
2. The performance of international truck is continually good, not affected by congestion at the border gates, so highly recommended!
Whether stability or timeliness, the performance of international truck during the Russian-Ukrainian war is extremely good. Although in the market there are many trucks congestion at the Xinjiang and the White Russian, our company’s truckload shipments are performing well. That would be a recommended choice!

1. Oakland port has been recovered: due to the implementation of the AB5 bill in California led to a strike of nearly 1,000 truckers and blockade of the Oakland docks into the gates, the blockade lasted a full week, and according to the feedback on site, the protesters have withdrawn on 25th, July, so the protest activities was stopped. The Oakland terminal operators are currently speeding up the progress to handle the blockade caused by the import and export container backlog and vessel congestion.
2. Due to the implementation of the AB5 Bill, except for Oakland, the efficiency of container pick-up at each port is affected in different degree by the strikes of truck drivers in LA and LB. At present, the overall impact on the timeliness is mild, and the container pick-up can be transported into the warehouse normally.

In the container yard of Los Angeles Port, the containers of more than 9 days hold-up had a significant downward trend recently, and the average retention time of the containers in the yard has fallen.The container backlog problem is gradually eased under the influence of the local government through many aspects.
· USA -Shipping Tips:
1. Although the Port of Oakland has lifted lockdown, it still needs time to recover.
According to feedback, terminal operators arranged for trucks to process the backlog of containers immediately as protesters left and barricaded the gates in case protesters come back to block the supply chain again. According to feedback from the president of Oakland Port Freight Services, the debris there has been cleared and the port has returned to normal, but it will take some time to get through.
2. The transit time of other routes have performed very well recently.
In addition to the impact of the Oakland emergency, the recent performance of American shipping is very good both time and rate, The problem of labor negotiations at the Western ports of U.S. is also nothing to worry about, Nevertheless, still recommended!
