The sun may not yet be setting on Hong Kong port, but it is getting pretty low in the sky.

The fastest growing container port in China last year was Lianyungang, a small mainland city in Jiangsu Province with a population of just 4.8 million.

Less than a year after starting out, the TCC has frozen its whole operation.

With an estimated million containers short, exporters in China appear to be facing déjà vu all over again, as the sports commentators say.

If you thought the container shipping industry was burdened by overcapacity, have a look at the dry bulk sector that is being flooded with new ships.

For years Shenzhen port has been stealing Hong Kong’s lunch. Now it looks like they will both go hungry.

A legal challenge has stopped construction of the Hong Kong to Macau and Zhuhai bridge, but it will only be a temporary setback to the money-sucking project.

It looks like the long anticipated shipping slowdown has arrived.
