Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. is continuing to divert car shipments to Shanghai from Tianjin as the latter city continues to clean up after two massive chemical explosions on Aug. 12, Reuters reports.

Fuji Heavy says its Subaru import operations in the port of Tianjin, which normally accounts for about 40% of its shipments, have not yet returned to normal. The company has no local production in China.

Reuters notes that other carmakers, including Renault and Toyota, also have diverted shipments since the blasts, which killed more than 120 people and destroyed thousands of cars awaiting shipment.
