Explosion In China Not Expected To Delay Shipments Of Bulk Vending Supplies

TIANJIN, China -- The enormous explosion that rocked China's Tianjin port, killing more than 50 people and injuring some 700 on Aug. 12, is not expected to cause significant delays in the bulk vending supply chain.

According to several well-placed sources, the majority of bulk products are shipped from ports south of Tianjin.

The situation could change, however. According to information released by government officials, the explosion has disrupted some IT systems. Additionally, the Maritime Safety Administration has suspended vessel movement along the sea route.
