They haven't officially published this information, but have already notified the shipping lines handling Europe China trade that they must move their operations from Baoshan to the new Yangshan Deep Water port by the end of 2005. <br /><br />Companies sourcing in China and shipping to Europe should be aware of this new development. It is important to assess whether the changes will affect the cost and services levels of your global supply chain. What are the potential bottlenecks? Has your 3PL or freight forwarder notified you of the new changes that will take place? It is possible that costs of service will increase? Will your 3PL absorb these costs, or pass them on to you?<br /><br /><br /> </font> 9 application/xml false china free port shanghai deep water port shanghai lingang shanghai yangshan yangshan Reference Article: China Economic Net Yangshan Port http://en.ce.cn/Business/Macro-economic/200508/01/t20050801_4315056.shtml Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 218.79.140.79 218.79.140.79 dustinmattison false true false false true 187565 false false true false false false true 94086 blog blogsite/ChinaSupplyChain/web
