Delays expected at Japanese ports on Typhoon Kong-rey, amid barge congestion

apan’s bunker market is bracing itself for another storm, Typhoon Kong-rey, shortly after Typhoon Trami made landfall last Sunday. Typhoon Kong-rey is expected to move into the Sea of Japan on Saturday, bringing strong winds and heavy rains. The Japan Meteorological Agency at 0245 GMT Friday reported that Typhoon Kong-rey was moving north at 20 kph with a maximum sustained wind speed of 35 meters/second and maximum wind gusts of 50 m/s. Bunker deliveries are likely to be halted on Saturday in west Japan and on Sunday in Tokyo Bay, market sources said. Barge congestion and loading delays will be worsened, as ports in Japan are still coping with the delays from Typhoon Trami. Japan has seen a spate of typhoons in recent months, including Jebi in early September and Shanshan and Jongdari in August, each causing bunkering delays at ports and barge congestion.
