We would like to provide an update on the Reefer operation in Manila Philippines. All carriers including HMM are facing limited or no access to the Reefer plugs at Manila terminals as the cargo pick up activity is still very slow. Terminals are overwhelmed and they are being operated exceeding their capacity.
HMM sincerely intends to help resolve the issues but, inevitably, we have to urge all our Reefer customers to avoid those congested ports and try to find alternative market until we see fluid operation out there. For in-transit cargos, HMM will arrange change of destination for customers who wish to do so.
HMM will continue to work with customers who are willing to ship Reefer containers to Manila, but please keep in mind below conditions are to be agreed to for all the customers to proceed with the booking with HMM.
