December 7, 2020: Seafood export industry has been witnessing a crisis due to the scarcity of containers and increase in the rate collected by the ship companies. Amid the attempts to overcome the financial crisis due to COVID-19, the industry is being challenged with the new issue. “most of the units and cold storages have already exceeded their storage limit as the export is being interrupted,” said Seafood Exporters Association of India (SEAI) Kerala unit president Alex K Nainan.

He noted that at present they need to reduce the production as the storage facilities are almost full. The industry is facing shortage of containers as ships are not allowed to anchor at Colombo Port.
