The impact of the global supply chain is still continuing, plus the recent Russian conflict makes the supply chain more uncertainty. Nowadays, harsh weather is also invaded in many countries.

Since the end of February, the Australian East Coast has encountered continuous heavy rainfall, Queensland's multi-day precipitation in February has a new high.

Some of the single-day rainfall exceeds the average precipitation of the whole moon. The precipitation in a row has brought pressure to the local area.

On March 10, local time, most parts of Australia were once again hit hard, Sydney and surrounding areas were severe. Rainstorm caused roads to shut down, some traffic lines are shut down, and the network is broken in some areas.

Australian Prime Minister Morrison went to the new South Wales Lismore to survey the disaster when they had entered the national emergency state.

It also announced more financial assistance and prolonged subsidies to victims, allocated $ 25 million ($ 1.82 million) to provide emergency relief, food relief and consulting services for victims.

Morrison said in a statement that national emergency states will ensure that the authorities can mobilize all emergency power, reducing the cumbersome charters that may face when providing services and support.

In some areas, some freight and passenger trains will delay and cancel. The harsh weather may also lead to delays and cancellations of airport flights in the area. 

If strong winds and huge waves triggered dangerous market conditions, multiple port authorities may suspend port homework.

According to the announcement released by the Brisbane, the port is suspended after the flood disaster, and the port is suspended, and the Regional Port Director announced that there is no activity to enter and export.

In the latest news released by Brisbane Port 11, the situation of Brisbane River this week has improved, but because a large amount of rain is discharged from a lower water supply area, the flow rate and turbidity are still a challenge.

The assessment of the port navigation area is in progress, and the debris obstacle is removed as soon as possible and the auxiliary equipment is repaired as soon as possible. Due to the presence of an obstacle, a ship with a length of more than 300 meters is limited.

Regional Port Director said that the response and recovery process is consistent with the resistence of floods in 2011, or may be slightly prior to the response to floods in 2011. It is reported that the Port Botany of Sydney this week also encountered the operational issues caused by huge waves and other factors.

In addition, the shipping company Maersk is based on the announcement on the 8th and 10th, due to the influence of the weather and flood, according to the notice released on March 11, there is a route service operation, will jump over Brisbane and Sydney Harbor .

GLA Family reminds the majority of freight forwarders and goods, if you have recently planned to ship to Australia or have been in the way, please pay attention to the latest logistics and communicate with the shipping company.
