If your forwarder (SEFCO) relays "bad news" to you about strikes, trucker problems, overbooked vessels, etc., please remember (as some journalists say): "we don't make the news we just report it" - and, please don't "shoot the messenger"! Working with a freight forwarder is a partnership and the more people cooperate without irritants, lawsuits, etc., the better the end result will be. So, please heed our advise. <hr> <br><br><center> <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mylkQJjHuk8?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mylkQJjHuk8?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> </center> <br><br> <hr> UPDATE 30 September 2010<hr> <ul> ---------- Forwarded message ----------<br> From: NA WAF Bookings <br> Date: Thu, Sep 30, 2010 at 9:29 AM<br> Subject: RE: ACL/ Grimaldi announcement - ASI and Bayonne Auto Terminal<br> <br><br> Please be advised that ASI and Bayonne Auto Terminal (BAT) are both open for receiving today. <br> <br> Regards, <br> North America  West Africa Direct Service </ul> <hr> UPDATE 29 SEPTEMBER 2010 <hr><ul> The following statement was issued by Joseph Curto, President of the New York Shipping Association, regarding the work stoppage in the Port of New York and New Jersey: <br><br> "I regret to report that nearly all of the facilities in the Port of New York and New Jersey are today being impacted by a job action initiated by members of the ILA. No work is being accomplished at any of the major container facilities as longshoremen are refusing to cross picket lines established by workers who are protesting the actions of an employer in Philadelphia which resulted in the switch of some business to a non-ILA facility. NYSA feels very strongly that these actions are both illegal and irresponsible and will pursue all legal means to resolve this matter as soon as possible. However, we anticipate the terminals will not be open for the duration of the regular work day. We will advise you of the steps being taken in subsequent messages." </ul> <hr> <br><br> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Tuesday, September 28, 2010 2:14 PM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> NY/NY port situation - possible strike</DIV><br> <DIV>Attn: SEFCO EXPORT clientele - NY area</DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Please be advise that there seem to be labor problems at some of the NJ/NJ area port terminals so please be certain to always call the terminal in advance of making any delivery. </DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Strike are common at ports around the world and we frequently receive email notices from various agents, suchas in Africa, regarding port closures, labor problems, weather issues, holiday issues, capacity issues, and so on. </DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV>Where such activities impact on any of our current clients, we will endeavor to post the information as soon as we receive such news, so our customers can be well enough informed.

Please keep this in mind when working with your forwarder. SEFCO tries to diligently serve the needs of our clientele, and to keep our customers informed. However, sometimes the world is not perfect, for example, a trucker might not be able to make a requested loading date, so flexibility and having some understanding of the realities of the shipping business is certainly appreciated. If something happens that brings a wrinkle to an otherwise smooth process, <b>"please"</b> try to understand. This is a very litigious world we live in, but the answer to many challenges is not necessarily to threaten lawsuits etc., but instead the answer lies more in understanding the many factors that can play a part in the progress of a shipment. Sefco's "T&C" terms and conditions for service are posted on our web site and are incorporated into our standard contract and SLI shippers letter of instructions. Please read through this carefully before signing our contract, it will help make everyone's job a lot easier while we work to handle service requests in a professional and efficient manner. <br><br> From our normal terms and conditons for services: <br> <a href="http://www.sefco-export.com/shipping/contract.htm#9">Shipping time is approximated and the company is not responsible for any delays caused by highway problems, steamship line schedules, over-booking, technical problems in equipment or vehicles, strikes, port authorities, labor problems at the origin or destination &/or other reasons beyond our control including "force majeure".</a> <hr> <br> As an example of how strikes can happen practically anywhere, and how our agents and carriers keep us posted, have a look at the following link, sent to us from AGS Frasers, concerning a strike in Madagascar: <a href="http://www.agsfrasers.com/mailers/newsflash/2010/24_STRIKE_AT_TAMATAVE_PORT.html">"Strike at Tamatave port"</a> <br> Also, from AGS Frasers: <a href="http://agsmovers.com/mailers/2010/ags/newsflash/24_NO_IMPROVEMENT_EXPECTED_FOR_FOS-SUR-MER_AND_MARSEILLE_HARBOURS.html">"No improvement expected for Fos and Marseilles"</a> <br><br><ul>"Dear Partners and Colleagues, <br> We recently informed you about the severe traffic congestion experienced by Seayard terminal in Fos-sur-Mer, France. Unfortunately the situation is not improving and the congestion has spread to the port of Marseille. Furthermore, workers at the oil-exporting terminal have been striking since Saturday, 26 September, forcing about 20 tankers to remain anchored and creating a standstill for other ships on the outskirts of the harbour. Finally, it has been announced that a strike will take place from 1 October to 3 October. The harbours of Fos-sur-Mer and Marseille will be blocked during this time. As from 4 October, disruption will continue with workers striking two days per week without advanced notice, and 2 hours per shift on even dates of the month. The risk of strike is expected to intensify as the days go on. We will keep you informed of the situation." <br><br> </ul> <hr> </ul> </DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV><STRONG>SEFCO EXPORT MANAGEMENT COMPANY, INC.</STRONG></DIV> <DIV>NEW YORK - OPERATIONS<BR><BR> <HR> </DIV></BLOCKQUOTE> <DIV class=gmail_quote>---------- Forwarded message ----------<BR>From: <B class=gmail_sendername>Operations - Sefco Export</B> <SPAN dir=ltr>&lt;operations@sefco-export.com&gt;</SPAN><BR>Date: Tue, Sep 28, 2010 at 2:06 PM<BR>Subject: Re: ACL / Grimaldi announcement - ASI and Bayonne Auto Terminal<BR>To: <A href="mailto:info@sefco-export.com">info@sefco-export.com</A><BR><BR><BR></DIV> <DIV class=gmail_quote>Perhaps a "wildcat strike" by the ILA Longshoremen<BR></DIV> <DIV class=gmail_quote><STRONG>RED HOOK BROOKLYN AND BAYONNE NEW JERSEY</STRONG></DIV> <DIV class=gmail_quote>&nbsp;</DIV> <DIV class=gmail_quote> <HR> <BR>notice from SS LINE: </DIV> <DIV class=gmail_quote> <BLOCKQUOTE style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" dir=ltr> <DIV></DIV> <DIV class=gmail_quote><FONT color=#000080><STRONG>On Tue, Sep 28, 2010 at 1:06 PM</STRONG></FONT></DIV> <DIV class=gmail_quote><FONT color=#000080><STRONG></STRONG></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE style="BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; PADDING-LEFT: 1ex" class=gmail_quote> <BLOCKQUOTE style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" dir=ltr> <P><FONT color=#000080><STRONG>Due to labor dispute that started early this morning ASI in Brooklyn and</STRONG></FONT></P> <DIV><FONT color=#000080><STRONG>Port Newark are not receiving any cargo at this time, either containers or ro/ro.
