Attn: - Shipping lines/ agents
- Customers
First of all, Saigon Newport Company would like to express our sincere thanks for your kind support and cooperation for the time.
The import & export reefer volume via Cat Lai Port has recently undergone a sudden increase, which exceeds the Port's designed capacity and results in an overload of yard capacity, plugs and power load in the Reefer Area. Thus, in order to maintain the regular operations of Reefer Area, to ensure the quality of reefer-related services and also to avoid possible damage to customers' cargo and also to the Port's devices, SNP would like to announce the following policies, effective as of 5th July 2008:
1. For laden reefer boxes stuffed at the Port's yards, including LCL reefer boxes: SNP will receive reefer boxes for stuffing within 48 hours prior to the registered ETA and complete stuffing before the registered ETA of the vessel on which the respective reefers are to be loaded.
2. For laden reefer boxes stuffed at customers' warehouses and transported to Cat Lai Port for loading: SNP will receive laden reefer boxes into CY for loading within 24 hours prior to the registered ETA.
3. Adjustment to the tariff of reefer-related services at Cat Lai Port (together with the Decision, Tariff and effective date as attached).
By this announcement, we recommend shipping lines to reasonably regulate the reefer volume via Cat Lai Port, avoiding a sharp increase which exceeds our capacity as present.
We look forward to your closest cooperation and support.
Best regards,
