Intra Europe Trade IBESCO Service Vessels Delay

We would like to provide an update of IBESCO vessels’ positions after the impact from recent heavy storms, congestion in Rotterdam port and the current strike at Lisbon Port.
As a result of the above:
 M/V Wes Gesa - Delayed by 12 hours on the southbound service from Rotterdam to Portugal.
M/V Wes Gesa is the replacement vessel of M/V Elbsailor, as previously announced.
 M/V Perseus - Delayed by 215 hours on the northbound service from Rotterdam to
Scandinavia.
M/V Perseus will be replaced by M/V Nordic Hamburg on the Rotterdam southbound service,
which will then be in line with her proforma schedule.
 M/V Wes Janine - Delayed by 57 hours on the northbound service from Portugal to Rotterdam.
All import cargo to Lisbon will be discharged in Leixoes. Therefore, we reiterate our invitation to our customers to take delivery of their cargoes from Leixoes while operations in Lisbon continue to be disrupted due to the local strike actions. Likewise, the export cargo from Lisbon is to be diverted for loading via Leixoes where possible. Understandably, we cannot accept export bookings and containers for loading in Lisbon during the strike.
In addition to the strike action, many ports, in particular Rotterdam, remain seriously congested and further schedule disruptions are likely.
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience these delays might cause.
Should you have any further questions or concerns, we kindly ask you to get in touch with your loyal ONE local sales representative.
