Congestion in Kingston, Jamaica
China. People's Republic

Dear ZIM Customer,

With shortage of labour and crane availability, we witnessed a prolonged congestion in the terminal which cause delay in vessels schedule and delay to your cargo.

We are doing our best to minimize the potential delay on your cargo. We have already diverted two of our ZCP vessels to Cartagena with another ZCP vessel plan to omit Kingston before she heads back to Asia.

We will continue to monitor the situation closely and take necessary actions, including reducing our transshipment activities in Kingston and diverting more volume to alternative hub to reduce the impact of this congestion on your cargo.

We thank you for your understanding on this matter.

Our customer service team and sales representatives are at your disposal for any inquiries.
