China’s Ningbo-Zhoushan port is opening up more yards and warehouses after a recent Covid outbreak hit Beilun district, Zhoushan city earlier this month.

After several days of stable operation for local logistics supply chains, the port is resuming work at another nine warehouses and sixteen stockyards to further improve local container handling efficiency and capacity.
