MSC announces schedule delays in Australia
Aug 14, 2020The delays in Sydney are the direct result of repetitive heavy weather systems passing through New South Wales during the previous 4-5 weeks. The weather experienced over the last weekend was significant enough to cause the suspension of pilotage services and closure of the port.
In addition to weather, delays to vessels are also being experienced due to the Industrial Action being undertaken by the Maritime Union of Australia. This is occurring across a number of Australia's main container terminals and unfortunately remains an ongoing issue which is creating delays throughout the entire supply chain.
As a result of the above, we understand that vessels may be delayed by up to five (5) days from their intended schedules. Currently this is impacting all liner services.
