Re:	Lack of Space to Asia and USWC ex Chile

Please note that the Chilean export market is suffering from a tremendous lack of space to US West Coast, Vancouver and Asia.

Due to the space reduction in 6000 teus (weekly) to Asia by MSC, CCNI and Hamburg Sud, other carriers such as APL, MOL, NYK, Maruba, Kline and CSAV have fully booked services to US/Canada and Asia.

Cargo to the US West Coast is loaded on the service to Asia by most of the carriers, so this trade lane is affected by default.

Please contact your customer service representative should you have any questions regarding specific shipments.
