Ningbo Meishan Island International Terminal has returned to operation, but dozens of containerships are still caught up in a backlog at China’s second-busiest port.

The facility, which accounts for one-quarter of the Ningbo-Zhousan’s port capacity, was confirmed to have formally reopened in a statement by the Information Office of Ningbo, AP Moller-Maersk said.

The reopening follows a two-week lockdown since 11 August after a worker was found to be infected with the Delta variant of Covid-19.
