Last week, the shipping network reported that a container ship had severely overturned in the waters near Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. Eventually the container ship sank and caused a major accident in which all 285 containers fell into the water!



After the accident, in order to salvage a large number of floating containers, the navigation channel of the accident area was forced to be temporarily closed, which caused the traffic of this important channel to be seriously affected.

▲ "Open for a week"? It seems that the netizens are too optimistic!
According to the latest news from the search network, the impact of the accident is intensifying, and the “Domino effect” has spread to other major ports in Vietnam!




Major Vietnamese seaport faces cargo delays due to sunken ship
▲ Vietnam's major ports face large delays!



Some companies have issued an early warning notice: The accident will cause the congestion of major ports in Vietnam to be more than one month. At the same time, the shipping company may also have to increase the special port charges!

The portion of the channel where the sinking occurred is closed for investigation and salvage operations, which could take up to one month, OOCL said.

▲ OOCL is expected to close the channel for a month!



Foreign media said that OOCL Logistics said in a customer notice that the sunken container ship sank in the Long Tau channel and that these containers quickly drifted to the deep-water port of Kemerp in the south.



The Long Tau channel is an important economic lifeline of Vietnam and the main economic backbone for container ships and barges. OOCL said that the channel has been closed and the police are conducting investigations and salvaging operations on the shipwreck.



It is reported that salvage and investigation work may take up to a month. This means that the channel will be closed for nearly a month!




The closure of this important waterway will result in a large number of container ships turning to other ports, which will inevitably cause more serious congestion in other ports!

In addition, it is known that a large number of cargo ships have been forced to transfer to the Soai Rap channel, but the channel has a shallow water depth, thus limiting the size of the vessel. Medium and large container ships cannot be docked and can only be transferred to other ports.



OOCL said that the cargo transportation at Ho Chi Minh Port has begun to be affected and the port has congestion problems.



OOCL said that this serious shipwreck accident will have a very serious impact on the container business of the Asian route!



At present, major shipping companies are trying their best to reduce the cargo goods that are shipped to the Vietnamese port, while strictly limiting the cargo weight of the container!



Next, major shipping companies will most likely charge a port congestion fee!

So far, Asian-to-European and trans-Pacific cargo transportation has not been affected by accidents, but due to vessel restrictions, containers transshipped from Vietnam to China's main seaports may be probablely delayed or out of service.



Recently, there are foreign trade freight forwarders that are shipped to Vietnam or parked in Vietnam. Be careful! There may be timeout delays and more congestion charges at any time!
