Closure of Shanghai factories for G20 summit, fuels FedEx warnings of shipment delays
THE order by the Chinese government for 255 Shanghai-based industrial facilities to shut down ahead of the G20 Summit on September 4-6, has prompted FedEx to issue a warning to customers to anticipate delays to shipments originating in the Shanghai area.
The move by the Central Government in Beijing aims to reduce pollution levels while the world's leaders and media congregate in Shanghai, reported London's Air Cargo News.
"This may cause supply chain disruptions," FedEx said. "Delays are expected with the transportation of goods originating from China. FedEx trade networks will continue to monitor the situation to minimise any service impacts associated with the plant closures."
