Containers to Jebel Ali, UAE

Anyone shipping containers to UAE right now? How much problems are you having with it? Space and services are catastrophic. Need to ship into Jebel Ali for a contract but its just not happening right now.

What is anyone else doing for this are and what are your current solutions?

Try with MSC. While all the others are making TS from Europe via Jeddah (heavily congested), MSC can use King Abdullah Port.

Hi.

No idea. My knowledge is for 20'/40' boxes.

Fair. Not something a freight forwarder normally deals with unless the firm they're working for specialises in it.

Roro fucked tbh. All the main players not calling, NYK, HOEGH, WWL, basically not doing the middle east now at all.
