Super typhoon Bavi heading to Taiwan & China might disrupt commodity supply chain and Pacific vessel supply

Super Typhoon Bavi (Category 5) is forecast to strike Taiwan and mainland China on July 10, 2026, with wind gusts up to 100 knots and 12-metre waves, threatening to disrupt navigation and port operations across all vessel segments. Chinese ports may close or scale back operations, causing congestion and tightening vessel supply across the Pacific, with dry bulk commodities such as iron ore, coal, and soybeans most at risk.
