Tianjin,
China Explosion
As
you may be aware, there was a massive explosion of dangerous goods stored in a
warehouse near the Tianjin Port in China on August 12, 2015. Although the Port is gradually resuming
normal operation, there are a significant number of terminals in South China
introducing additional restrictions on handling dangerous cargo and/or
suspending the handling of dangerous cargo.
As a
result, dangerous goods may experience delays or suspension of service into
this region, given the situation and the uncertainties that may arise during
the recovery period. Additionally, containerized service into and out of
Tianjin may be rerouted to different ports during the next few months. As we
become aware of these changes, we will discuss them with the affected customers.
Should
you need further clarification, please contact your local office or call us at
our corporate office (888) 488-4888.
Our
hearts go out to those affected by this explosion – we wish you the best!
Sincerely,
Brad
Dechter
President
