Maersk has announced the phased resumption of operations at Venezuela’s Port of La Guaira following disruptions caused by the earthquake on 24 June. The carrier said it is working closely with local authorities and port stakeholders to restore operations safely while supporting the continuity of customers’ supply chains. The resumption plan will be implemented in stages over the coming weeks. According to the schedule, the week 30 call of AS ANGELINA (voyage 630N) will be limited to the evacuation of empty containers. In week 31, MAERSK CAP CARMEL (voyage 630S) will discharge full import containers only. Full import and export operations are scheduled to resume during week 32 with AS ANGELINA (voyages 631S/632N). Maersk noted that the schedule remains subject to operational conditions at the port, including terminal readiness, equipment availability, road access, safety assessments and regulatory guidance. The carrier said it will continue to monitor the situation and adjust the plan if necessary. Customers requesting a change of destination for cargo originally booked to Venezuela will be responsible for the applicable operational fees and surcharges. Maersk also advised customers to coordinate closely with local representatives regarding export bookings, empty equipment positioning and import cargo availability during the transition period.
