Recently, ports around the world have faced serious congestion, shipment delays, cargo transportation delays, etc.Recently, Maersk has issued several related warnings, involving European port Rotterdam, Mombasa, Kenya, Bangladesh, etc.Recently, the cargo owners and freight forwarders at these ports should pay more attention to the impact of logistics delays.
On February 11, Maersk's official website issued the latest customer notice and warning: On February 9, a strike occurred at Hutchinson Port Delta II Pier in the Port of Rotterdam.The strike caused the dock to temporarily cease operations.
Although the business has now resumed on February 10, the terminal's business is still slowing and the time is uncertain.Therefore, while continuing to monitor the labor-management negotiations at the terminal, the Maersk team has formulated certain emergency measures.
Due to slowing strike action and actions, the number of loadings and unloadings per hour at the dock will be reduced, with an unknown duration.Therefore, the operation time of the ships has been extended and seriously disrupted their normal schedule.To minimize disruptions and protect the overall reliability of the supply chain, Maersk will make emergency decisions in the coming days, and all customers whose goods are affected will receive specific information on detailed timetable changes and alternatives.
On February 12, Maersk's official website issued an announcement and warning that the port of Mombasa is facing delays.
Maersk said over the past few weeks, Maersk has been experiencing berthing congestion, resulting in ship berthing and departure delays due to higher-than-expected dock density and equipment challenges.Maersk will work 24/7 with port authorities and key stakeholders to minimize the impact on customers.
Details of the above berths, navigation and interruptions are subject to change due to the challenges currently facing the port.
Previously, Maersk also issued a relevant warning on its official website: container transportation in Bangladesh was interrupted due to a tow driver strike.
Maersk said the driver strike in Bangladesh had a significant impact on transportation and logistics operations.The shutdown seriously affected the navigation schedule and the berthed ships.
On February 8, Maersk issued an updated warning, and the strike was cancelled on February 7 and cargo transportation resumed after discussions with drivers and union leaders.While this is a positive step towards a return to normal business, some delays may continue to occur as they work to clear the backlog and stabilize the flow.The Maersk team is actively coordinating efforts to ensure a smooth recovery of comprehensive services.
In addition to the above ports, it should also be noted that French ports have also faced serious interruptions due to continued strikes recently.Workers at major French ports have begun an ongoing strike plan that will continue intermittently throughout February to protest the national pension reform.
Here is a reminder that the cargo owners and freight forwarders in ports in these countries have been shipped recently, and they must pay close attention to the delays and impacts on cargo transportation, so as not to cause unnecessary losses!Forwarding Zhou Zhi~
