Rotterdam - Cap San Lorenzo 245N - Import Contingency

As part of A.P. Moller – Maersk’s efforts to keep our customers informed of the latest operational details, we would like to give you an update on Cap San Lorenzo (245N / 249S).

Please be informed, operations at the terminal are disrupted and go-slow actions are taking place because of Collective Labour Agreement (CLA) negotiations between the unions and the terminal(s) in Rotterdam (Hutchinson Delta II).

Due to the go-slow actions at the terminal, the Cap San Lorenzo (245N/249S) is not able to get a berthing window in Rotterdam. Our teams are working hard on contingency planning to minimise disruptions to our customers’ supply chains.

For Import: Your cargo is now planned to discharge at Antwerp; PSA Q913 with ETA 13/12, with no connection to Rotterdam.

For Export: Your Cargo still will be loaded at the 2nd call at Rotterdam, Hutchinson Delta II with ETD 22/12.

Our teams continue to monitor the situation at the terminal and plan contingencies where needed to alleviate impact to customers. We will keep you updated of any developments and changes as more information becomes available.

When, in accordance with clause 20(c) of our terms for carriage, cargo scheduled to discharge at the Terminal is diverted to and placed at customers’ disposal at alternative ports such as Antwerp and Zeebrugge, customers will need to source alternative transport at their own cost to reach intended final destinations. Any losses or expenses incurred due to this will not be absorbed by Maersk.

Your business is of great importance to us and we thank you for your continuous understanding and regret any inconvenience caused by this schedule.

Please feel free to contact your local Customer Service representatives for any questions or concerns.
