Typhoon No. 6 “Firework” in 2021 made landfall in Putuo District, Zhoushan around 12:30 on July 25. The intensity was at typhoon level when it landed. The central air pressure is 965 hPa, and the maximum central wind speed is 38 meters/second. And on the evening of the 25th, typhoon fireworks will make landfall again along the coast from Jiaxing, Zhejiang to Pudong, Shanghai. It is expected to have level 12 to 13 when it makes landfall.
The attention of people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas in recent days Most of them were concentrated on Typhoon No. 6 this year. Floods occurred in Zhengzhou due to heavy rains, which made us fully aware of the power of nature. At the same time, it also made us worried about the coming super typhoon. For this reason, local governments have issued typhoon warnings to remind residents to take precautions. Currently, many scenic spots and venues have been temporarily closed.
As an important textile gathering place in China, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions bring together important textile production bases such as Shengze, Changshu, Haining, and Keqiao, from chemical fiber raw materials to weaving, printing and dyeing. , finishing, etc., a large number of various manufacturing companies have gathered. This super typhoon will inevitably affect our textile production and trade to a certain extent.
With the approaching typhoon, the weaving operating rate may end its growth
Although the current textile market is in the traditional off-season, the overall performance of the weaving operation rate is relatively good. After polyester yarn ended its price reduction promotion at the end of June and started to rise, the weaving start-up rate has obviously begun to increase. Haining and Changshu have even maintained a high level of more than 90% for more than half a month, and other weaving clusters in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are also clearly correcting.
But this super typhoon must be accompanied by heavy rainfall in addition to strong winds. Zhengzhou, which has been hit by heavy rainstorms, is also a well-known textile town base in China. It has thousands of large and medium-sized factories and enterprises that deal in textile and chemical fiber products. The heavy rains in the past few days caught the owners of textile companies by surprise. Jinrong International Textile City, Yuantong Textile City, Mianfang Road, Buchang Street, etc. in the South Third Ring Road of Zhengzhou have all been flooded. Zhengzhou textile factories have been affected to varying degrees!
This time the heavy rainfall in Jiangsu and Zhejiang may not Zhengzhou has heavy rainfall, but the danger of typhoons cannot be ignored. At present, some textile companies in Zhejiang have experienced rainwater backflow, affecting production. Pinghu District has even asked all companies in the city to suspend work and production. Some factories with old buildings and incomplete protective measures will not dare to produce under super typhoons. Reducing startups, reducing production and taking holidays are important measures to deal with typhoons. Therefore, Jiangsu and Zhejiang’s weaving operation rate may be difficult to maintain such a high level.
Chemical companies are affected and raw materials may rise sharply
A hot topic in the textile market recently is that the price of raw materials continues to rise, with polyester, nylon, spandex, etc. taking turns to perform price increases. Although this increase in raw material prices is mainly due to the surge in upstream crude oil prices, the sharp drop in international oil prices on July 19 failed to stop the rise in textile raw materials. Some speculation and tight supply of some raw materials are an important reason for this rise in raw materials.
The Yangtze River Economic Belt affected by Typhoon “Fireworks” covers dozens of provinces and cities such as Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui. At the same time, it also means that one-third of the country’s chemical industry parks and 51% of the chemical enterprises along the river will be severely damaged in terms of production, storage, transportation, etc., involving nearly 10,000 chemical enterprises. Chemical companies in the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River may be seriously affected. High temperatures and heavy rains during the flood season have caused great inconvenience to the production, transportation, and storage of chemicals. Some areas have also adopted measures such as transportation restrictions, work suspensions, and road closures to cope with heavy rains and Secondary disasters are expected to cause a temporary shortage of chemical raw materials.
The shortage of raw materials will inevitably cause the relationship between supply and demand to become tense again, and polyester and spandex products may increase prices again.
All passenger inbound and outbound flights are cancelled. , Freight is affected
Affected by the typhoon “Fireworks”, major terminals, yards and warehouses in Ningbo and Shanghai have successively announced the suspension of operations. . All passenger flights in and out of Shanghai, Hangzhou, Ningbo and airports on the 25th have been cancelled. Most of the textile foreign trade in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is exported by sea from Shanghai and Ningbo. During the few days affected by the typhoon, the export channels were blocked, and the delivery time of some textile orders was affected.
In terms of railway passenger transportation, according to PudongInformation: The Shanghai Railway Department has decided to temporarily suspend services on the Ningbo-Wenzhou section of the Hangzhou-Shenzhen Railway, the Shanghai-Kunming High-speed Railway, the Yiwu-Zhuji section of the railway, the Hangzhou-Ningbo Railway, and the Jinwen-Wenzhou Railway from July 24th to 29th. In addition, the Hangzhou Bay Bridge was affected by a typhoon at 11:30 noon on the 25th and the entire bridge was closed. Domestic trade will also be affected to a certain extent.
Typhoon “Fireworks” will definitely be to a certain extent It affects our textile production and trade. We must actively cooperate with flood prevention and disaster prevention to minimize losses. After the typhoon passes, textile companies can be “resurrected” and prepare for the upcoming peak season.
