APAC Catch-Up: Export Hubs Recover; India Ramps Rail Bridges
Export hubs in CN/KR/SG normalized after weather impacts, while India leaned on inland rail bridges to keep gates fluid at peak weeks.
Recovery snapshot
Shanghai and Ningbo improved gate cycle time by 6–9% versus the prior fortnight. Singapore absorbed diverted strings with negligible dwell impact; Busan kept transshipment steady. Nhava Sheva and Mundra made effective use of inland rail bridges to mitigate yard pressure.
Playbook
- Keep a rolling 14-day mean for avg_wait_hours on CNSHA/CNNGB to confirm stabilization.
- Watch weekly yard dwell at NHAVA SHEVA and MUNDRA; route time-sensitive SKUs via rail bridges on peak weeks.
- Add alerts when congestion_score > 0.7 at any of the four hubs or when dwell variance jumps >2σ w/w.
