Gonna be some late deliveries.
MSC, the largest ocean carrier globally, has decided to implement a policy change in response to the recent container ship accident near the Port of Baltimore, resulting in a tragic bridge collapse.
Due to the indefinite closure of the Baltimore port, MSC, like other carriers, will no longer deliver diverted containers outside of the port for shipping clients. This decision places the responsibility of cargo pickup at a diverted port and transportation to its final destination squarely on the shipper.
In an email shared with CNBC on Thursday, MSC informed its customers that for containers already enroute to the Port of Baltimore, the cargo will be rerouted and discharged at an alternate port, where it will be available for pickup.
