APEC Time, Gathering in Shenzhen

The 33rd APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting will be held in Shenzhen on Nov 18–19. This marks the third time China hosts APEC. Following Shanghai and Beijing, Shenzhen, a landmark of China’s reform and opening-up, will serve as a new platform for dialogue and trade cooperation across the Asia-Pacific region.

Shenzhen blends tech innovation with open trade vitality. The robot industrial cluster in Nanshan attracts global startups and tech talents. At the same time, ports keep busy with two-way trade: finished goods, chemical and mechanical cargo depart from Yantian Port for APEC economies, while imported raw materials and goods are unloaded at Shekou.

Thirty new shipping routes linking APEC members have been launched at Shenzhen Port this year, strengthening the Asia-Pacific maritime network. For chemical and DG shippers, aligned trade rules, improved customs coordination and green shipping agendas will bring long-term supply-chain opportunities.

Meanwhile, we remind all shippers and logistics partners of temporary traffic control. From Nov 17 to 20, restrictions apply to non-local passenger cars, general cargo trucks and dangerous goods vehicles in selected zones. Some roads may close or change traffic directions during the meeting. DG trucks need special permits. It is highly recommended to schedule container pickup, delivery and warehousing in advance, avoid peak hours on Nov 18–19, and prevent detention and delivery delays.

This APEC gathering unlocks new Asia-Pacific cooperation potential. Reliable logistics planning helps businesses seize these opportunities. We will keep updating you on port, carrier and traffic notices, to support smooth shipments for Asia-Pacific trade.

Looking forward to more inclusive, connected and resilient supply chains across the region.
