Here's an update of the effects of the transport strike in Bangladesh

Your cargo planning to and from Bangladesh might be impacted by a nationwide transport strike. According to the latest information, the strike was started by transport owners on November 5, 2021 as a response to the hike in fuel price prices, and was ended late on November 8, 2021. This situation restricted inter-district cargo movement and port operations.

Thinking about your cargo planning, please note the possible impact from the strike:

  • Congestion at the container yard caused by the non-delivery of import cargo during strike and lack of empty movements from the port.
  • Possible container no-shows due to lack of truck capacity.
  • There might be a period of a couple of weeks to stabilize cargo and space requirements.
  • The amount of vessels waiting at anchor might increase, which might affect the overall berthing windows.

Our teams are currently working on prioritizing the dispatch of full units and will focus on minimizing the logistics impact for your cargo planning. We appreciate your kind patience and cooperation in the meantime. If you should require additional information, please contact our customer service team at your location who will guide you based on your individual situation.
