Hongkong Post informs that a tropical cyclone warning was issued as Typhoon Soala hit the territory.
EmIS 118/2023
Hongkong Post, the People’s Republic of China’s designated operator for Hong Kong, asks us to inform other Union member countries and their designated operators that a tropical cyclone warning was issued at 2.40 local time on the morning of 1 September 2023 as Typhoon Soala hit the territory.
The processing and conveyance of all inbound, outbound and local mail was disrupted, affecting the quality of all services, including outbound and inbound EMS, air parcels and air registered mail. It is expected to take a few days to clear the backlogs and return to normal operations.
Hongkong Post thanks all other Union member countries and their designated operators for their understanding. It will provide updates on the situation via EmIS.
