KUALA LUMPUR: The delays in collecting cargoes during the movement control order (MCO) period has resulted in accumulated charges, causing financial burden to local shippers and manufacturers, says Malaysian National Shippers’ Council (MNSC) chairman Datuk Dr Andy Seo Kian Haw.
“We call for the Transport Ministry’s (MoT) intervention once again, this time with the shipping lines and we hope that the MOT will urge them to waive or to provide discounts on demurrage and detention charges due to delays in the collection of cargoes held during the MCO period, ” he said in a statement.
