Due to this difficult situation, we would like to inform you that APMT Barcelona will take some specific and punctual actions in order to mitigate the impact to our customers of these consecutives strikes. The actions we are going to take since 1st of March are:
– Export Cargo/Containers to be loaded shall only be accepted whenever are in the Terminal within the following time frame: not earlier than 5 Working Days from the start of the scheduled vessel’s operations, and not later than 6 hours prior to the start of the scheduled operations of the vessel. No exceptions will be accepted.
– VAS service can be affected and we cannot confirm the service during the strike period
These measures will be taken only if the strike is finally confirmed. We regret all the inconveniences that these measures may cause, but we are forced to take them in order to preserve the service level of our terminal as much as possible.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have further doubts or questions.
