Ships refuse to take cargo from India ports to Japan

3/18/2011 11:18:52 AM

India’s trade with Japan has ground to a halt with ships refusing to pick up cargo bound for the far-eastern nation from Indian ports.

The Federation of Indian Export Organisations president Ramu that ships were not accepting containers at Indian ports for Japan as a result of which no exports were taking place at present.

A senior shipping industry official, said, “We all feel very sad over the tragedy that has struck Japan. Unfortunately, it is not the best place on earth to be in right now as they are still grappling with the nuclear crisis and aftershocks of the earthquake.”

“This disruption can only be “temporary” and once the uncertainty over the nuclear radiation gets over normal ship movement to Japan would resume,” he added.

Deora said at the moment business is not uppermost on the minds of Indian exporters and they are more keen to donate blankets and medicines to help those affected by the earthquake-triggered tsunami and now face the danger of nuclear radiation.

Deora said several exporters had got in touch with him to donate consignments of blankets to Japan as thousands of people were stranded in the freezing cold after the havoc wreaked by the killer waves.
