Ensure Your Shipments Stay on Track This Lunar New Year

Chinese New Year, also known as the Lunar New Year, is fast approaching! This year, the celebrations begin on January 29th, 2025, and continue through the Lantern Festival on February 4th, 2025. While it’s a joyous occasion marked by family gatherings and cultural festivities, it also brings significant challenges to logistics and supply chains operating in and out of China.

Key Disruptions to Expect:

• Radio silence: Contacts in China may be unavailable for up to two weeks as offices close and celebrations take place.
• Factory shutdowns: Many factories across China will suspend operations, with some closures lasting as long as three weeks.
• Limited vessel capacity: Blank sailings and omissions will reduce available space, creating bottlenecks in shipping.
• Transport challenges: Local transportation within China becomes increasingly difficult during this period.

Plan Ahead to Avoid Delays

To ensure your shipments remain on track during this busy season, we strongly recommend booking your shipments in advance before the holiday shutdown. Proper planning can help you sidestep potential delays and disruptions, keeping your supply chain running smoothly.
