We would like to inform you that the terminal yard density for reefer units at Xingang has reached critical levels. We have been diverting cargo due to the limited reefer plug availability situation.

We recommend customers, when possible, to ship to other Chinese destinations or other markets in order to avoid delays in cargo delivery. If Xingang delivery is necessary for your cargo, Maersk will, until further notice, accept reefer bookings into Xingang strictly on the following conditions

  • We cannot guarantee the cargo routing nor take any responsibility for the delivery time. There is the possibility that cargo arriving in Xingang is being diverted to alternative locations until the situation improves.
  • Maersk will apply effective 24th November 2020 based on PCD booking a Peak Season Surcharge of USD $1,000 per container for ALL reefer cargo arriving into Xingang to cover the additional cost. Any regulated corridor will have effective date starting from 24th December 2020.

For cargo already in transit, you can contact your local customer service to divert your cargo to other nearby ports or markets to avoid delivery time delay.

We are closely monitoring the situation and will determine if further actions are required depending on future developments.
