Dear customer,
We would like to give you an update on the current situation for reefer shipment to Tianjin. Due to the instruction issued by local authorities, all reefer shipments to Tianjin are required to complete an inspection and test for COVID-19 before release. As such, reefer plugs in the terminal is facing severe shortage, resulting vessel berthing schedules being postponed.
Due to the aforementioned, all related inbound operations as well as container pickup activities have been severely impacted. As a result, reefer plugs has been fully utilized and various shipping lines have informed us that they will implement a congestion surcharge immediately.
Currently these surcharges vary from USD 1250 upto USD 1500 per container.
If you have any questions please contact your local contact at Merzario.
