medium: The 45 hour Yokohama closure is reported by two forwarder bulletins that agree with each other and with our port call series, but no statement from the port authority or Japanese government on the port closure could be retrieved, and one source notes no blanket shutdown of Tokyo and Yokohama container terminals, so the exact scope of terminal closures is uncertain.
