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.
At Jetcarrier, our goal is to meet our customers expectations, surpass them and serve them to the very best of our ability. We take absolute responsibility for our actions but sometimes, as it is in this case, the situation is not within our control.
Our sea containers have been in the Port in Rotterdam and the Port has a schedule on when containers & vessels would be moved. This is out of our jurisdiction and control. We have been receiving dates, changes in dates etc from the Port Authorities in Rotterdam and we are doing our utmost best to get these containers down to Norway.
We therefore ask for your patience (which has been stretched) and for your understanding as we navigate this unusual situation.
Based on the current information we have received, find below the schedule:
1. Sea Batch 1487 – 18.11.2024 (arrive Norway)
2. Sea Batch 1488 – 18.11.2024 (arrive Norway)
3. Sea Batch 1489 – has been closed and booked on vessel for the 14.11.2024 (departs USA)
4. Sea Batch 1490 – has been closed and booked on vessel departing 14.11.2024 (departs USA)
We value your business and nothing is more important as having your trust and fulfilling your needs as a company. We look forward to things normalizing soon.
We are sorry to inform that our sea shipments are delayed due to the 3 day strike in several US ports.
Although the strike has been over for some weeks now, this still affects the flow of goods and goods already on backlog have been prioritized.
We are looking into all possible options, and hope to have things back into the normal flow again in 1-2 weeks.
We are expecting sea batch 1488 to arrive Rotterdam today according to the maritime schedule and should be on its way to Norway together with 1487. This is our expectation and we sincerely hope there is no delay with Batch 1488 as there has been with 1487.
