Subject: Snow Storm in China - North & Central China Update
Dear Valued Unique Customer,
Please see the below e-mail from our Shanghai office with regard
to the winter storm in North & Central China along with links for your reference.
Due to cancelling of flights, closing highways, and train delays, there will be
delays and back-log of freight for air and ocean cargo. The ports have
already been congested due to push by vendors to ship prior to CNY which will
start next week. ULI-ATL will work closely with our overseas partners on
the movements of cargo from affected areas. Our operations team will
advise our customers of any significant delays. If any questions about
your specific shipments, please do not hesitate to contact your Unique Customer
Service Representative (CSR).
Thank you for your support of Unique Logistics
International. We appreciate and value your business!
Best
Regards
David

Snow
Storm in China
The worst
snow storm to hit China in ten years has already and will continue to cause
delays. Many of last weekend’s flights were cancelled or delayed,
highways are closed, trains are delayed and port activities may have been
hampered by the storm.
The cargo
space crunch forecast for this week before the Lunar New Year holiday shutdown
will be even more challenging due to the backlogs resulting from the storm.

As
some of you have already been pre-advised of the extreme weather conditions in
China. The latest weather forecasts also suggest that although the
snowstorm has stopped, “more blizzards are forecast in southwestern China until
Feb. 6, according to the Chinese Weather Information Service. It warned state
agencies and the population to prepare for severe cold and potential problems
from heavy snow in the next 10 days.”
