Italian vessels delays to Russia to expand to other ports as coronavirus outbreak worsens

摘要

LONDON (ICIS)--Coronavirus-related fears are prompting Russian ports to step up controls on vessels coming from Italy which are causing long delays, an Italian shipper said on Monday. “Russian ports are not happy to accept vessels from Italy right now ... Tanker and dry-bulk vessels are still going but suffering long delays [because of the time] spent on preliminary checks before berthing,” said the source.
