The Loadstar’s Alex Lennane reports that international belly-cargo operations at Shenzhen will be suspended from midnight on 16 November until 6pm on 20 November local time, during the APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting, with freighter slots sharply reduced. Forwarders warn of tighter space, congestion and higher rates at alternative gateways such as Hong Kong and Guangzhou. UPS has also announced temporary adjustments to import, export, collection and delivery services in selected areas from 12–21 November. Shippers with South China air cargo over that window may want to plan around the published notices; open the source for full details.
