Manila has been dealing with a long-term problem of port congestion due to the TRUCK BAN (any vehicle that crosses the weight threshold of 4,500 kls), is placed under the Truck Ban and must follow its window hours and use only the allowed routes; our container weighs more than 29,000 kls), thus making the process slower and not ideal to send the cargo there anymore. As a result, they always face problems with BERTH.
BERTH;
noun:
A ship’s allotted place at a wharf or dock.
verb:
Moor (a ship) in its allotted place.
Those boxes that are bound for Luzon and other places will be transferred via Roll-on-Roll-off (RORO), or container. Like always, all boxes go into one container and will be sorted out once they get to the port.
Be reminded that all shipments are labelled with ETD/ETA, which means ESTIMATED only, unless we get an update from the shipping company that the boat has left and will state the ATD, Actual Time Departure, and even sometimes it could change its course without informing us, and somehow we wouldn’t know the reasons why. It is sad to say that we have no influence over the matter. For duration, please click here.
