Import Sea ex Europe - Space and Delays

Friday, 22 January 2010

Further to our notice in early December, the space situation from Europe and the Mediterranean is showing some signs of improvement, but there is still a shortage of space on most vessels out of Europe to Asia ( and Central America in the case of Hamburg SUD ) and once containers have arrived at those transhipment points there is still a space shortage on second leg vessels to New Zealand.

Mondiale try to keep delays to a minimum and to advise you of short shipments as soon as we can, however the fact remains that where there were previously 5 services, now there are only 3 - and thus significantly less overall capacity.

Our previous advice remains in place - until further notice please allow at least one week longer for your freight to arrive from Europe.

If you have specific questions or need more information please contact your Account Manager or Customer Service Rep
