COMMENTS
On May 22nd, 2023, Brazil declared a state of animal health emergency for 180 days in response to the country's first-ever detection of the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus in wild birds. In a document signed by the Agriculture Minister of the county, however, exports remain as usual. On the other hand, another case in Argentina was identified, and all exports to China remain blocked. In order to return the exports, Argentina needs to go through 30 days without any new cases.

Port Status:
We anticipate generally stable waiting times for ports in Latin America. However, there are a few exceptions: we predict waiting times of 1-3 days at Paranagua (Port Congestion), Manzanillo-MX (only for XL's), and San Antonio - STI (Bad weather). For North American ports, the waiting time is stable. We don't expect the waiting time to exceed 2 days.
In Australia, we foresee 1-3 days of waiting time; in New Zealand, we don't expect the waiting time to exceed 1 day.
The waiting times at the Asian ports vary, with Busan new port terminal Co.ltd having an average waiting time of 2.5 days, Ningbo Beilun Container Terminal Phase 4 having an average waiting time of 1.5 days, and the other ports having an average waiting time of 0.5-1 day or less.
In North Europe currently, no major disruptions or significant waiting times are reported for ports.
In South Europe, Genoa will be under extraordinary work between June 5-16, which might affect productivity.
FOS SUR MER: Strike announced in France, in Fos sur mer operation will be suspended for 4hrs on 6/7/8 of June between 1100 &1500
Mersin has a huge WT of 6-10 days.
