Factories may not be able to operate at full capacity after the National Day Golden Week (international air freight will also be affected)
Dachser warned customers to "start preparing now to minimize potential disruption to the supply chain" ahead of China's Golden Week.
The freight forwarding company said that from October 1st to October 7th, most enterprises and factories in China will be closed due to the Golden Week holiday, which happens to be the peak season when the capacity of air cargo is already limited.
"As one of the world's most important economies, this prolonged shutdown could have a significant impact on international supply chains," Germany-based Dachser said in a statement.
Chinese enterprises will suspend production for a week, and factories may not be able to operate at full capacity after the Golden Week.
The company said that the airport will continue to operate, but the manpower will be reduced due to the low output of the factory.
Dachser recommends that shippers communicate with suppliers and customers to assess the availability of shipments and schedule shipment bookings at least one to two weeks in advance to reduce potential supply chain disruptions.
In its customer guidance, Flexport also recommends securing air freight capacity in advance to avoid delays or missed shipments.
"As October 1 approaches, importers are rushing to complete production and ship before Golden Week. This will further limit cargo space (which is already very tight during the peak season) and push up prices for sea and air freight. Airlines The overbooking situation will be more severe than usual, which could cause cargo to be rolled over."
However, the company advises shippers to "keep in mind that this is an expensive season for air freight, and high prices and tight capacity are expected to continue".
国庆黄金周后工厂可能无法满负荷运转（国际空运也将受影响）
Dachser警告客户,在中国黄金周之前,“现在就开始准备,以尽量减少对供应链的潜在干扰”.
这家货代公司表示,从10月1日到10月7日,中国大多数企业和工厂将因黄金周假期而关闭,而黄金周正好是航空货运的运力本已受限的旺季.
总部位于德国的Dachser在一份声明中表示:“作为世界上最重要的经济体之一,这种长期停工可能会对国际供应链产生重大影响.”
中国企业将暂停生产一周,黄金周后工厂可能无法满负荷运转.
该公司表示,机场将继续运营,但由于工厂产量低,人力将减少.
Dachser建议托运人与供应商和客户沟通,评估货物的可用性,并至少提前一到两周安排发货预订,以减少潜在的供应链中断.
在其客户指导中,Flexport还建议提前确保空运能力,以避免延误或错过货物.
“随着10月1日的临近,进口商正急于完成生产,并在黄金周之前发货.这将进一步限制货运空间(在旺季已经非常紧张),并推高海运和空运的价格.航空公司的超售情况将比平时更加严重,这可能会导致货物被滚动.”
然而,该公司建议托运人“记住,这是一个空运价格昂贵的季节,预计高价格和紧张的运力将持续下去”.
