MSC: Coronavirus affecting reefer container operations in Manila port

Apr 08, 2020

Due to the effect of the Covid-19, many ports are congested. In particular there are no more reefer plugs available in Manila port. MSC has been requested not to discharge reefers containers. 

MSC has no option but to apply clause 19 of our Bill of Lading and Sea Waybill Terms and Conditions and declare end of voyage and advise you from where your container(s) may be collected.    

Please note MSC is entitled to charge to the Merchant additional freight and costs including but not limited to storage, demurrage and plugging.
