CBP New York Says CES Delays Due to Generator, Chassis Unavailability

Recent delays at the Port of New York/Newark during the delivery of refrigerated container boxes moving from marine terminals to Centralized Examination Stations (CES) were due to a lack of available generator sets and chassis at marine terminal locations, CBP New York said in an informational pipeline message. The generator sets are used to allow refrigerated cargo to maintain a consistent temperature when moving between terminals and CES locations. CBP "has been working diligently with the trade community to reduce these short term delays in the examination process and improve overall service and efficiency," it said.
