Singapore Transship Delays

Dear Customer,

 

Please note that high levels of congestion persist at the Port of Singapore and reports suggest that there are increasing congestion levels at neighbouring Malaysian ports of call, as carriers look for alternative discharge options to avoid the backlog at Singapore.

 

The bottleneck is a result of increased traffic due to the conflict in the Red Sea, with carriers choosing to avoid transit through the Suez Canal. 

 

Singapore is the world’s largest transshipment hub, connecting more than 600 ports from 123 countries.

 

The severe congestion at the Port has led to significant berthing delays for ships, extending transit times and arrivals at final destination ports.

 

Please be guided accordingly and plan to buffer arrival dates if routing via Singapore.

 

Kind reminder that special consideration should be given to commodities prone to inherently degrade over time as most insurance policies will not cover losses of / damage to cargo attributed to inherent vice.

 

Please reach out to your Hensall Global representative should you have any questions or concerns.

 

Sincerely,

 

HENSALL GLOBAL LOGISTICS
