MEDITERRANEAN Shipping Co (MSC) is offering a 'suspension of transit' service to customers exporting from China, to enable shippers to store containers at a number of transshipment hubs across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the Americas in order to avoid higher storage charges at ports of discharge.
"The programme builds on MSC's ongoing efforts to ensure business continuity and the maintenance of vital container carriage services, such as the movement of food, fresh produce, medical equipment and other essential goods. The new suspension of transit initiative is focused in particular on a resumption of demand of a wide variety of goods from Asia," MSC said in a statement, reported UK's Lloyd's List.
While "positive signs of recovery" have started to emerge in Asia and factories have resumed production in China, major ports of destination may still not be ready to discharge containers, MSC warned.
The programme will fulfil the resuming demand for raw materials and finished products from Asia by providing yard storage at major points around the world, including Bremerhaven in Germany, Busan in South Korea, King Abdullah port in Saudi Arabia, Lome in Togo, Rodman PSA Panama International Terminal in Panama, and Tekirdag Asyaport in Turkey.
MSC said it would help customers control costs by avoiding expensive warehousing, demurrage and per diem costs.
"It will also free up space at origin factories and warehouses and avoid excess inventory at site, bringing cargo closer to destination markets and alleviating the risk of congestion or closure at ports of discharge," MSC said.
