Potential impact of Papal visit on Marine Transportation System | |
|
September 22, 2015, United States, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania | |
|
The Captain of the Port, Delaware Bay, is notifying mariners that vessel traffic transiting the Delaware River and Schuylkill River, in vicinity of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, fromSeptember 25, 2015 to September 28, 2015 will likely experience delays.As a preventative measure, we ask maritime stakeholders in the region, ranging from large vessels to uninspected passenger vessels, to provide advanced notification and to engage with our Papal Visit Maritime Operations Center’s (MOC) and the Marine Transportation System Recovery Unit (MTSRU), well in advance of anticipated vessel transits betweenSeptember 25th and 28th. The MTSRU can be reached at secdelbaymtsru@uscg.mil or 267-515-7294.It is likely that the influx of Papal visit attendees to the area will increase local traffic on both the roads and waterways in the area and may increase security concerns. Facility and vessel operators are requested to maintain proper vigilance, and report any suspicious activity to the Sector Intel Branch at (215) 271-4999.

Federal health supervisors on strike | |
|
September 22, 2015, Brazil, all ports | |
|
About 70% of Brazil’s federal health supervisors have been on strike since Friday, 18 September.The supervisors are responsible for the release of Brazilian cargo in foreign ports, amongst other activities. Their action may affect the legal procedures for the unloading of cargoes. It is primarily affecting exports of grain and meat, though there are also fears that it may affect maize exports.All the exportation supervisor staff at the ports of Santos and Itajai, two of the biggest in the country and responsible for a major part of the loading and unloading of meat and grains, have been out on strike.
There is currently no end date forecast for the strike. However, representatives of the striking workers say that basic services will be provided to ensure public health and the health of cattle and vegetables.
