High yard density levels in the Port of Gdansk are continuing to pose challenges, and A.P. Moller – Maersk have put contingency plans in place to keep customer supply chain moving as seamlessly as possible.
Part of these contingency measures is redirecting import cargo away from Gdansk in order to alleviate pressure. Therefore, we are announcing that import cargo booked on L02 and L03 services will be discharged at the nearby Port of Gdynia until further notice when the yard density at Gdansk stabilises.
We understand that the situation may have an impact on your business, but we are committed to reducing delays and bottlenecks. Rest assured that these measures have been carefully considered in the interest of our customers and the global supply chain.
The yard at the Port of Gdynia is limited in size, so we are kindly asking customers to please pick up their containers as a matter of urgency once discharged. This will allow us to continue diverting future L02 and L03 service cargo away from Gdansk and ultimately reducing pressure on the terminal.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this period, as well as your cooperation swiftly picking up import containers.
Our teams are here to serve you, so please do not hesitate to reach out to your Customer Experience representative should you have any questions.
