Following the impact of Typhoon Yagi, logistics operations in North Vietnam have experienced significant disruptions, particularly in key provinces such as Quảng Ninh, Hải Phòng, and Lạng Sơn. The aftermath of the typhoon has caused road closures due to flooding and landslides, severely affecting the transportation of goods by land. Many highways and rural roads are either blocked or damaged, causing delays in freight movements.
Seaports, especially in Hải Phòng, one of the major gateways for international trade, are also facing backlogs due to the temporary suspension of operations during the storm. While port activities are gradually resuming, it will take time to clear the congestion and restore normal flow. Shipments of exports, including textiles, electronics, and agricultural products, may face extended delays.
Inland transport is also impacted, with rail and trucking routes experiencing slow recovery. Companies relying on these modes of transportation will need to adjust schedules and prepare for continued delays as repairs to critical infrastructure are underway.
Warehousing capacity may also be strained, as goods pile up while waiting for distribution. Businesses are advised to closely monitor updates from local authorities on road conditions and port operations and plan for alternate routes where possible.
The government is coordinating recovery efforts, focusing on restoring transportation networks, but the full normalization of logistics operations in North Vietnam could take several weeks.
