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.

We appreciate your kind patience and cooperation in the meantime.
