Re:	South Africa Cape Town Port Alert

Cape Town Port Alert:

Be advised that high wind weather conditions in Cape Town port temporarily stopped vessel operations last week and resulted in congestion at the port. Exports may be delayed due to the vessel backlog or from vessels omitting the port call to maintain existing schedules.

For inquires on pending orders shipping via Cape Town, please contact your JF Hillebrand operations representative at 732-388-0101.
