There has been a notable 29% decrease in the number of shipping containers leaving China, destined for Southern California, for the week ending May 3. This sharp drop in freight volume from one of the world’s largest manufacturing hubs is an ominous sign for global supply chains.

The reduction in shipping arrivals from China can lead to potential supply chain disruptions for businesses that rely on imported goods and materials. RW Freight is monitoring the situation and working with clients to mitigate any potential impact on their operations.

Businesses should prepare for possible delays in receiving shipments and consider alternative sourcing options to maintain continuity in their supply chains. RW Freight’s expertise in navigating complex logistics challenges can help companies adapt to these evolving circumstances and minimise disruptions to their operations.
