decided by Beijing to counter the spread of Covid-19 will
soon disruptive effects also on the activity of the
European ports. 'For the terminals of European ports and for the
EU supply and logistics chains - highlighted
the association - it is quite obvious that the cascading effects
arising from the prevailing situation in Shanghai will be huge. One
time these ships - explained Feport referring to the units
ships that are currently waiting to load or unload the
goods at the port of Shanghai - they will head en masse and call at the port of call
in EU ports and terminals, the risks of congestion and
interruptions will be very high."-
- To cope with this risk, the association has urged
an urgent initiative by the European Commission to convene
all stakeholders to develop contingency plans. "It's
very urgent - noted the secretary general of Feport, Lamia
Kerdjoudj-Belkaid - prepare and organize. Interested parties
representing shipping companies, authorities

pilots, tugs, inland transport operators,
rail operators, road transport operators
should meet as soon as possible under the
patronage of the European Commission to discuss how we can
prepare ourselves individually and collectively in order to avoid a
'nightmare' for EU logistics and supply chains,
otherwise EU consumers and businesses will be penalised."

congestion in other areas of the world, the persistent low level of
reliability of schedules and the consequences of implementation
sanctions against Russia - he continued
Kerdjoudj-Belkaid - the terminals of EU ports, both employers of
work that employees, can not constitute once again the
"bearing" that absorbs all shocks and pressures
which will be caused by the current situation in Shanghai. We
we need the commitment of all parties to act to prepare ourselves for the
situation that will affect European ports in 8-12 weeks".
