Port operator: Everything calm in Cabello
A move by the Hugo Chavez government to take national control of Venezuela’s ports doesn’t seem to be affecting operations at Cabello, the nation’s busiest container port.
International terminal operator DP World runs a container terminal in Puerto Cabello, and told American Shipper Tuesday that operations haven’t been disrupted.
“At the moment, I can say the situation at Puerto Cabello is calm,” DP World spokesman Ethan Chorin said in an e-mail. “Vessels and cargo are being handled as normal, and our employees are not in danger. We have notified all customers that we are operating as usual, and await/expect clarification from the government in the next couple of days.”
