SHANGHAI (Bloomberg): Shanghai has halted some container port operations and will cancel most flights Monday (Sept 1) and Tuesday as Typhoon Chanthu approaches the city, which is China’s financial capital and a major shipping hub.
The city’s container port, the largest in the world, has suspended some container-related operations, Shanghai International Port Group said in a statement posted on its Wechat account, as it braces for the arrival of the tropical storm, which is expected to make landfall in the southern part of the city Monday night. Chanthu started dumping rain on the city of 25 million people from Sunday after affecting the southern Chinese coast, Taiwan and the Philippines.
