Hapag-Lloyd Tightens Export Gate-In Window at APM Terminals Valencia
What Happened?
Hapag-Lloyd has cut its export container acceptance window at APM Terminals Valencia from 14 days to nine days prior to vessel arrival to alleviate severe yard congestion. Shippers and drayage operators delivering cargo before official gate openings risk immediate turnaways and added storage or trucking fees. The operational restriction takes effect immediately and will continue indefinitely without exceptions.
