The Meishan Island International Container Terminal (MSICT) at Ningbo-Zhoushan port, which partially reopened last week has now reported that the terminal will resume full operations from today.

Last week, project44 reported 41 ships were at anchor awaiting a berth and cargo handling at Meishan Island.
