English – Hacklin Logistics

Hacklin Logistics employees gathering during an annual wellbeing day in Finland, celebrating teamwork, collaboration, and company culture.

Strong Teams Start with Strong Connections

Earlier this month, we took a break from our daily operations and spent time together outside the office for our annual wellbeing day. In logistics, we often focus on moving cargo, meeting deadlines, and solving challenges. But behind every shipment, every customer solution, and every successful project is a team of people working together. That is why taking time to connect beyond our daily responsibilities matters. Sharing experiences and spending time in nature strengthens the trust and collaboration that make teamwork possible.

At Hacklin Logistics, we believe that strong teams are built through genuine connections. When people support each other, they work better together, communicate more openly, and create an even better experience for our customers.

Thank you to our amazing team. Your commitment, collaboration, and support for one another are what make Hacklin Logistics the company it is today. 💙

Expertise Behind Every Move

We’re currently documenting our project transportation chain from its multiple transfer locations. Our wish is to capture the people and all stakeholder’s expertise that make the journey possible. This shot frames the Port of Helsinki, where Mantsinen machines were loaded aboard a CMA CGM vessel, beginning their journey to Brazil. We’re grateful to our customer Mantsinen Group and to our many trusted logistics partners for the opportunity to handle this remarkable project and share its story. Stay tuned. 🎥

Supporting a Cleaner Baltic Sea

For Baltic Sea Day, we had the pleasure of joining CMA CGM team for an afternoon dedicated to keeping the Baltic Sea cleaner. Swapping our usual logistics activities for canoes and kayaks, we spent the afternoon collecting litter from the shoreline and the water. A great initiative and excellent company. Protecting the Baltic Sea is a shared responsibility.

Thank you for inviting us and for organizing this meaningful initiative. We were proud to be part of it.

Over the years, the team has contributed to a wide range of projects in the pulp and paper, energy, mining, marine, and industrial sectors, supporting cargo movements between Asia, Europe, South America, and beyond. In 2025, the company strengthened its presence through a fully licensed local entity providing international freight forwarding and customs clearance services.

China Typhoon Update | 27 August 2026

Latest Update | China Typhoon Update | 27 August 2026

We have now received confirmation that Ningbo Port was closed on 26 August at 20:00 and Shanghai Port was closed on 27 August at 06:00 as precautionary measures related to Typhoon Sauda.

These port closures are expected to result in additional vessel delays and may lead shipping lines to omit calls at Shanghai and/or Ningbo. As a consequence, capacity availability is likely to tighten further, potentially creating a more challenging space situation and placing upward pressure on freight rates.

Dear Valued Customers, we would like to provide an update regarding the current typhoon activity in China and its potential impact on logistics operations.

Typhoon Narra

Typhoon Narra is expected to make landfall in Southern China, primarily affecting the Guangxi region. At this stage, no significant disruption is anticipated for China’s main international ports, and logistics operations at the major gateway ports are expected to continue as normal.

Typhoon Sauda

A second typhoon, Sauda, is forecasted to impact Zhejiang Province this weekend. We have just received notification that Ningbo Port will be closed starting tonight as precautionary measures are implemented.

At this stage, no similar notice has been issued for Shanghai Port. However, given the projected path of the typhoon, operational restrictions or temporary closures may also be implemented in Shanghai over the weekend if wind conditions become severe.

Potential Logistics Impact

While temporary port closures are common during typhoon events, the main challenges usually arise from:

Suspension of vessel operations and pilotage services
Temporary closure of terminals and container yards
Delays to truck pick-up and delivery activities
Congestion and schedule adjustments once operations resume
Possible vessel omissions, schedule changes, or port rotation adjustments by shipping lines

Even relatively short closures can create a backlog of cargo movements, particularly at major hubs such as Ningbo, which may result in local congestion and delays extending beyond the duration of the weather event itself.

Our team is closely monitoring the situation and remains in contact with carriers, terminals, and local partners. We will provide further updates should there be any material impact on ongoing or upcoming shipments.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions regarding specific shipments.

Best regards,
Hacklin Logistics

Supporting Young Talent

What do show dance and logistics have in common? More than you might think. Success doesn’t happen on stage or at the destination by chance. It takes planning, teamwork, precision, trust, and countless hours of preparation behind the scenes.

As a proud sponsor of Kipinä LIT Fusion from Kipinä Dance School Vaasa, Finland, we congratulate the team on representing Finland at the European Show Dance Championships in Slovenia.👏 We are always happy to support the next generation of talented young people who show what determination and teamwork can achieve.
