Maersk has provided an operational update following the recent earthquake in Venezuela, confirming that commercial operations at the Port of La Guaira remain suspended.
The carrier said authorities have not yet authorized the resumption of commercial activities at the port. As a result, all import and export shipments through La Guaira remain on hold until further notice.
Maersk continues to operate through all other Venezuelan ports, with La Guaira remaining the only exception.
The company has also suspended acceptance of new bookings from its Intra-Americas network to La Guaira. However, bookings from all other origins to the port will continue to be accepted until further notice.
In addition, customers have been instructed to return empty containers to Maersk’s container depot in Puerto Cabello until further notice.
Maersk said it is working with local teams and authorities to minimize disruption to customers’ supply chains and will provide further updates as the situation develops.
