According to the company’s website press release on February 9, 2023, due to the devastating earthquake that struck Türkiye and neighboring areas on Monday 6 February 2023, Evergreen Line would like to inform customers of the related adjustments on our operations and services.
Structural damage to the Port of Iskenderun will keep the facility closed for an undetermined period of time. Roads and logistics infrastructure within the area have also been damaged, causing all services to be suspended until operations can resume safely.
Due to the circumstances and according to clause 21 of Evergreen Line's Bill of Lading, in-transit cargo intended for discharge at Iskenderun will instead be off-loaded at Mersin.
The company suggests customers with cargo to Iskenderun to change the discharge port to Mersin and retrieve cargo as soon as possible. Any COD (change of destination) charges will be waived until port operations return to normal. Customers who wish to have their Iskenderun-bound cargo diverted to other ports should contact their local Evergreen Line office.
Evergreen Line extends its concern for all those affected by this week's devastating earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria. We send our deepest sympathies to the victims and their loved ones during this extremely difficult time.
Evergreen Line will provide regular updates to inform customers about our operations and services within the region. The company thank you for your support and understanding during this period of recovery. Should you have any questions, please contact your local Evergreen Line office.
