Coming Blank Sailings / AUS Trade

21/6/2016

Dear Valued Clients,

Carriers are re-introducing blank sailings (vessel cancellations) from China and Hong Kong to Australia

The blank sailing program is a strategy shipping lines implement that immediately places pressure on space leading into peak season months

The program is carried out by all shipping lines on different weeks of the month

Please find below the current announcement regarding consortium blank sailings.

2016 Blank Sailing Week	Date	Consortium
Week 24	ETD Shanghai – 15/06, Ningbo – 19/06	ANL/COSCO/OOCL (AANA)
Week 25	ETD Ningbo – 19/06, Shanghai – 20/06, Shekou 25/06	ANL/COSCO/OOCL (SAS)
Week 26	ETD Shanghai – 01/07, Shekou 03/07, Hong Kong – 05/07	ANL/COSCO/OOCL/PIL (ACE)

At this time we expect space to be tight leading through June and into July so please allow additional time to your “into store” dates in case blank sailing programs create service disruptions

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact your customer service representative

Keeping you updated,

Aaron Poole
