SEA BATCH 1492 & 1493 are unfortunately highlighted to have a delay in Hamburg, Germany where the vessel they are on currently on is anchored. The new date according to the schedule we have received is 6th April and the batches should get to us on the 7th of April in Halden.

We are expecting Sea Batch 1494 & SB 1495 to arrive Norway on the 24th of April, all things being equal.

We are still awaiting further information on the schedule of these two batches which are yet to leave the US.

1492 & 1493 have finally set sail from the US Port last week and are expected to be in Norway on the 23rd of March all things being equal.

According to the schedule we have been given, we expect two more containers to leave this week that is 1494 & 1495. We will update the information as events unfold.

1492 & 1493 have been at the Ports. They were scheduled to depart on Monday but the US Ports Authority rescheduled again for next Monday. That is a further delay of a week from what we had envisaged.

We have 1494 & 1495 waiting for container and pick up by Friday this week for the Ports as promised. We also have other batches (1496 etc) waiting on the booking queue.

This has been a chaotic time with sea shipments post-pandemic, problems with existing sea routes and strike issues in the US and many more.

Though it is global, mostly impacted is Rotterdam and Hamburg which service the Norwegian route.

We are in constant contact with the necessary Personnel and hope this disruption can be a thing of the past.

To Our Customers

Please accept our apologies for the delay we have experienced with the sea batches lately especially now with SEA BATCH 1492 and 1493 which are still in the US.

We want to reassure you that we are doing everything possible to minimise the impact.

This delay has been caused by the long planned maritime strike in the month of January which has now been called off. Unfortunately, the impact has been quite great on shipment of goods overall.

We will be in touch with updated delivery timelines as the picture gets clearer. Sea freight services sometimes face the uncertainties of delivery timelines which could extend beyond the normal voyage times of 4 – 6 weeks.

Many thanks for your understanding.

Information reaching us today from the Feeder Company in Rotterdam says that the arrival of these two batches to Norway have been moved to the 16th of December.

1489 and 1490 have been sent out from us in the US and by the schedule released by the liner, the two containers should be in Fredrikstad by 08.12.24, all things being equal.

It would be exciting and a great relief to get the two containers in before Christmas. Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
