Referring to current drought in the Amazon region, as per ordinance 158-CFAO of 18/08/2023 of “Capitania Fluvial da Amazônia Ocidental”, the attendance to Manaus port was revised, considering that capacity of vessels was severely reduced.

*For Spot bookings, is the Booking Confirmation date.

Contingency plans will be informed separately.

The LWC (Low Water Surcharge) is an exceptional and temporary charge applicable due to the extraordinary conditions of navigation that will be periodically reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, by virtue of the current situation. It will cease when the sailing conditions return to normal by the time of the price calculation date.

It is worth emphasizing that the application is based on the Price Calculation Date. For imports, there may be shipments arriving at the destination during the drought restriction with no application of LWC (if not effective at PCD), and shipments may arrive after drought restriction with application of LWC (if effective at PCD).

We are closely monitoring the receding water levels in the Amazon region, and the latest soundings conducted by various vessels that have recently navigated the stretch to/from Manaus continue to indicate that the Rio Madeira Estuary has become the most critical area for navigation.

For a clearer understanding of the situation, we have included a graph depicting the Amazon River's depth in Manaus:

Maersk has been addressing the issue of abrupt siltation in the Rio Madeira Estuary to the appropriate authorities through relevant organizations and continues to monitor the river's water levels. In case of any developments, we will inform you through further communications.

We appreciate your business and look forward to continuing to work with you in the future.
