Maersk is pleased to announce that we have resumed our acceptance of new bookings to and from Port Sudan.
Port activities have steadily increased since port operations resumed on a conditional basis in November. During this time, Maersk has been working steadily to ensure delayed shipments at the transshipment hubs of Jeddah and King Abdullah, have been cleared.
As previously communicated, the tenuous situation in the country caused a 7-week long port closure, causing delays in shipment and the need for alternative plans. However, the reopening has meant that the backlog of shipments are well on their way to being cleared, with the remaining shipments’ transportation plans updated accordingly and the acceptance of new bookings to and from Port Sudan, reopened.
We continue to monitor the situation in Sudan closely, and will keep you abreast of any changes to port operations and your shipments, should they occur.
We understand and appreciate how important flexibility and agility are to your supply chain, and as such have introduced various options for you, when you are placing your bookings to/from Sudan.
