Through the Eid closure, Shuwaikh customs and Kuwait banks were dark. Asia ports kept loading. ETAs kept moving. Carriers kept issuing BLs.
The file you open Monday morning isn't where you left it Tuesday.
What likely stacked while you were off
- Original BLs sitting unreleased because the bank couldn't process the swift transfer
- Containers that hit the terminal mid-week started the yard storage clock the moment wheels touched ground
- Mirsal-2 entries you couldn't submit
- Carrier D/O requests waiting on cleared OBLs
- Pre-arrival WhatsApp threads from agents sitting unread
The Friday-night version of the Monday plan
One line per container — BL status, OBL bank step, ETA, yard-arrival date, duty figure ready. Anything missing is a Sunday-night fix, not a Monday-morning scramble.
Banks and customs reopen Monday, June 1. The importers who clear first are the ones who walk in with a finished file — not the ones who start building it at 8 AM.
