Change of date for Intermodal Asia 2020

Intermodal Asia 2020 has been rescheduled to take place in July 2020. Originally planned for March, it will now be held at the SWECC in Shanghai on July 14–16.

Rob Fisher, group director, Informa Markets, said: “We have been closely following developments since the outbreak of novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) in Wuhan in December 2019. …After careful consultation with our joint venture partners the China Container Industry Association (CCIA), the in-depth discussion with the venue, we have taken the decision to reschedule this year’s event to ensure the safety of our visitors, exhibitors and staff.”

He added: “By delaying Intermodal Asia, we are providing the container shipping and intermodal sectors time to recover from any setbacks experienced as a consequence of the outbreak and its effect on global trade.”

Mr. Huang Tianhua, president of CCIA, vice president of CIMC Group, said: “We greatly appreciate the decision to postpone Intermodal Asia 2020. It reflects the organiser’s responsible attitude towards the safety and health of its international exhibitors and visitors, but also reflects confidence in China’s ability to quickly overcome the outbreak.”
