Due to high volumes of Fumigations being carried out for (BMSB) all depots are experiencing severe delays in the processing of these containers. Containers are not being accepted in depots till backlogs clear which has caused intense pressure on both depot operators and Bio-Security Staff that are monitoring the Mandatory fumigations.
A number of depots are deploying additional shifts to manage this situation which will not end until the 30 April 2018 when measures will be ceased.
Please be aware that depots are not accepting any liability for any container demurrage that may be incurred whilst this program is in place.
We will continue to monitor the situation and ensure all measures are taken to ease any costs or delays during this period.
