The German carrier, Hapag-Lloyd has announced it will temporarily stop accepting bookings from/to Krishnapatnam in India to/from Chittagong in Bangladesh with immediate effect and until further notice.

The Hamburg-based container line said that it has implemented this booking restriction “due to operational constraints”.

Hapag-Lloyd added that containers on ground / on route to the Port of Krishnapatnam might be re-routed via an alternative transshipment hub and a change in arrival at the destination is to be expected.

The company noted it is monitoring the situation and will provide an update once the situation improves.
