Port of Sfax
Tunisia’s interim government has formally closed all of the country’s ports to all car-carriers.
Local agents are reported to have stated that the action was fuelled by the findings of a corruption probe that targeted local import and export businesses.
Delmas, a subsidiary of CMA CGM, pointed to the closure of ports at Tunis and Sfax that were making it impossible to continue operations. It also cited a lack of manpower at the docks, an absence of customs authority and the temporary closure of its maritime agency in the country.
