(Toronto, August 5, 2011)… Typhoon Muifa is forecast to hit late Saturday or early Sunday close to Shanghai, a commercial hub with a population of 23 million. This typhoon is expected to be one of the most severe to reach China in recent years.
Shanghai's two airports expect major flight delays and all port operations in Shanghai will cease operations this evening, stopping all movement of containers both in and out of terminals. Vessel arrivals and departures will also be affected during this closure.
We will continue to monitor this situation and advise accordingly.
