Haiti Situation Update

Haiti Situation Update 07

Terminal operations resumed on October 18th, and we have been sending all backlog cargo held at transshipment ports, this is an ongoing action.

Since Monday, November 11th the situation at Port-au-Prince civil unrest is affecting all customers to GATE OUT/IN units from terminal, but terminal remain operative and working with incoming vessels, thus, terminal yard density for reefers containers has reached plug limits.

• All reefer cargo at transshipment port will be under HOLD until reefer station at port improves.
• We keep monitoring dry yard terminal density to keep moving all cargo still at transshipment ports.
• As an additional insight, some flights / Airlines, have cancelled flights to Port-au-Prince, so if you have any ORIGINAL BILL OF LADING to send by courier, please check with your preferred company to avoid any additional delays. We suggest checking with your local office for other options to release cargo at destination.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to your local Maersk representative to keep your supply chain moving as smoothly as possible.

Port Au Prince - Haiti Situation Update 02

During the last weeks, Haiti has faced challenges linked to the outcomes of its civil unrest situation, which has impacted import and export operations from Port Au Prince, as customers have not been able to enter the port to drop or pick up their containers.

Port Yard Density: The dry equipment area is nearing full capacity, while the reefer cargo section is at full capacity. For now, vessels have no problem operating in this port, but the complexity of capacity is increasing and becoming concerning.

Your supply chain is of the utmost importance to us hence we would like to suggest you make the following modification to safeguard your cargo:

• Request Change of Destination to continue with the cargo transit.

In case this is a suitable option for you to continue with your supply chain, please request it to your customer service agent. Our teams are always available and happy to support you in case you need any additional assistance.
