As many as 166 containers, supposed to be shipped to Russia, are stuck in different privately-run depots, after many shipping lines primarily suspended operations to Russia.
Media reports maintained this citing Bangladesh Inland Container Depot while adding there are huge loads of goods at various depots waiting to be loaded onto containers even as Bangladesh apparel makers continue to feel the pinch.
“…we are yet to book a ship for the delivery of the remaining 3 lakh pieces as container lines are reluctant to take bookings for Russia,” reportedly, maintained Director at Chittagong-based Sonnet Textile Gazi Mohammad Shahid Ullah, who managed to hand over half of the ordered T-shirts to the freight forwarder nominated by his Russian buyer earlier before getting stuck with the remaining 3 lakh pieces, and is, reportedly, amongst around a dozen apparel manufacturers in Bangladesh, who fear they might face order cancellations or witness difficulties in receiving payments.
Meanwhile, as per reports, on 1 March, world’s three biggest container lines namely Denmark-based Maersk, Swiss-headquartered Mediterranean Shipping and France’s CMA CGM temporarily suspended cargo shipments to and from Russia, following which German-based Hapag-Lloyd, Japan-based One Line, and a few others have also, reportedly, suspended shipping to Russia.
