Operations of ports in chaos as traders seek clarity on 21-day lockdown
India’s government told all major ports that the coronavirus fight is a valid reason to halt some port operations, leaving traders in disarray about the flow of goods in and out of the world’s seventh-biggest economy.
Ministry of Shipping advised ports they may consider the Covid-19 pandemic as grounds for invoking force majeure, a clause absolving companies from meeting their contractual commitments for reasons beyond their control, according to a letter Tuesday seen by Bloomberg.
Several ports and terminals have done so already, while also saying they aim to maintain operations as the government deemed shipping an “essential service." Indian ports and terminals have started to declare force majeure after Prime Minister Narendra Modi
