Dear customer,
We would like to remind you of the Chinese New Year which starts at the end of January. In 2020 the public holiday occurs between January 24th and 30th. As usual more or less all activities in China are closed during this period. Please contact us if you have any transport in pipe line so we can check what opportunities there are.
In 2020 we are celebrating the year of the rat!
Dear customer,
Time for holidays: Christmas and New Year!
In 2020 new environmental requirements concerning the shipping industry will be implemented in January: IMO2020. Emissions will be reduced by 80% by changing to better, but more expensive fuel types. The costs will vary depending on vessel size, region, fuel cost and how well-prepared shipping lines are regarding environmental requirements. As more parties will switch to the approved fuel types, the total price of the sea freight is likely to increase. We will most likely see new fuel supplements as new costs as usual will hit the end customers. The shipping lines will probably end up at similar levels after some time. The price structure for January is yet to be seen.

As you might have noticed, the last few weeks have been characterized by problems due to the congestion in Rotterdam. One reason is that the ocean vessels have been affected by bad weather for several months which has caused delayes. In addition during the spring, one of the terminals in Rotterdam has been partly closed due to renovation works while local strikes have occurred. All together this has created schedule dealys on the feeder lines and the extensive back log we now are experiencing. We hope the conditions will improve in the near future and ask for your understanding of the current situation.
We will inform you regularly about how the situation affects your shipments but if you have questions about a specific booking you are welcome to get in touch.
As usual, we are aiming to give you the best service and also like to wish you a ....
Happy Easter!
The strike in the Swedish ports have been cancelled as it has been possible to reach an agreement between the parties. We are looking forward to a good working situation in the ports in the future so that your goods can be handled quickly and smoothly for further transport to the final destination.
As usual, we are aiming to give you the best possible service. Please let us know if you have any questions.
