Overview
- Typhoon Bavi hit Zhejiang with strong winds and heavy rain, prompting authorities to relocate more than 2.6 million people into thousands of emergency shelters.
- Major container terminals at Ningbo and Shanghai suspended operations before landfall and have started phased reopenings, with Shanghai reporting all terminals resumed container handling by Monday morning.
- Port operators and logistics firms warned that reopenings will not immediately normalize trade because pilotage limits, berth sequencing, yard congestion and diverted sailings will cause vessel delays and cargo backlogs.
- Forecasts and advisories say heavy rain is shifting north into provinces such as Shandong, Liaoning and Jilin, keeping flood, landslide and urban waterlogging risks elevated as Bavi weakens and moves toward an extratropical phase later this week.
- Central authorities have allocated emergency funds and dispatched relief supplies, including 100 million yuan for Zhejiang, while continued transport suspensions and sheltering are disrupting local travel and deliveries.
