New port restrictions on Food and Medicine shipments to Doha

on

All food items now need to arrive in Doha in a non-operational reefer container and need to be approved by the Doha Port authority. Due to the new regulation this will cause delays in the transhipment of the cargo from Dubai to Doha. We will not be able to guarantee the transit time as the authority to allow the import of the cargo in Doha is controlled by the Doha Port Authority.

Any items of Pharmaceuticals and medicine shipments need to be check with the Doha Port Health Authority before the cargo can be accepted for shipment to verify what (if any) import restrictions would apply to this type of cargo.

Pipavav Port In India Extensively damaged

updated on

Due to recent adverse weather conditions the rail line was extensively damaged from/to Pipavav Port In India.
The weather has caused extensive damage to the rail line operated by Pipavav Rail Corporation Limited.

The Terminal has notified it as a “Force Majeure” Event.
It is expected to take approximately three weeks to rectify and operationalise the damaged sections of rails.
There will not be any loadings or arrivals in the PIPAPAV port until the situation returns back to normal.

In the mean time the Inbound containers that are planned/pending for loading to Pipavav Terminal should be diverted to Nhavasheva Port with immediate effect to avoid delay and additional costs.
