Flood update for Bangkok

Bangkok Ship Agents’ Association has issued a circular on Wednesday, advising that there is a severe shortage of space in the marshalling yard for inbound containers due to the fact that importers are keeping their inbound cargo at the port. The marshalling yard at Terminal No 2 is already reported to be full.

It is also understood that discharging operations for dry bulk cargoes in Koh Si Chang Anchorage are being affected due to slow turnaround times of the barges.

Further, some receivers are reported to be refusing to accept or discharge cargo as their warehouses are not accessible due to the flooding.
