Strongly opposed. A report released on April 29 showed that the relevant competent authorities required shipping companies to exempt containers from delayed collection fees before May 5. Shipping companies have been strongly opposed to the report due to their own insurance issues. Relevant authorities held a meeting this Sunday and decided that the late payment exemption policy will be enforced from March 26 to May 30.
