Bangladesh / Sri Lanka Capacity Crunch Update

Please be informed that due to an increase in vessel waiting period at Chittagong Port, there is capacity crunch for incoming cargo into Bangladesh. Currently, there is a waiting period of 5-6 days for feeder berthing, expected to increase in the coming weeks. This in turn is causing transshipment in Colombo to take longer than usual.

Therefore, please note that Chittagong cargo discharged in Colombo will take approximately 21 days to connect due to the ongoing situation and is expected to increase further.

Kindly take the above into consideration when planning future shipments and please refer to our website for alternative routing options. We thank you for your patience and appreciate your continuous support.

For any further information, please contact your local Hapag-Lloyd office.
