May 13, 2020 Expediting Import Reefer Container Release from Chittagong Port within May 16, 2020 Dear Valued Customer, Chattogram Port Terminal has been experiencing acute shortage of space and unavailability of reefer plug points due to increased number of unreleased containers. In order to facilitate the trade and keep the busi- ness activity up & running, Chittagong Port Authority (CPA) has been relentlessly trying to accommodate all the reefer containers by arranging additional plug points even in this situation. Despite all these efforts, regrettably the ratio of cargo release is significantly low which is impacting the overall yard congestion. Also, there is a possibility of plug point shortage which may ultimately impact on cargo quality. So, CPA has urged all the importers to release the importers to release the reefer shipments by May 16, 2020 otherwise they, by law, reserve the right to increase the Port Store Rent four times (04) more than existing quantum. Attached CPA’s notice is for your kind reference [Annex – 1] Therefore, in order to avoid additional expenditure and to contribute in easing up the yard congestion, we would humbly request you to release your shipment by May 16, 2020 to avoid additional costs. Should you have any query or concern, please reach us anytime. Thanking you, SEALAND – A Maersk Company Maersk Bangladesh Ltd as agent of Sealand Maersk Asia Pte. Ltd. Dhaka: Plot #76/A. Road #11.
