Shanghai Port Keeps Global Trade Moving Despite Raging Covid

(Bloomberg) — Shanghai, the world’s biggest container port, is isolating the shipment of international goods to prevent disruptions to global exports as a Covid wave sweeps across China.

The port is keeping overseas vessels in a closed-loop zone to avoid massive delays, according to an oil-shipping broker. In addition, most infected staff have mild symptoms, and there are backup teams and emergency plans in place, the person said.
