NYBOT Announces Removal Of Moratorium At Licensed Coffee Warehouses In The Port Of Antwerp

The New York Board of Trade® (NYBOT®) announced today that effective immediately, the moratorium previously placed at Molenbergnatie 3 Way 7 and Wilmarsdonk 3 Way 9, in the Port of Antwerp, has been removed.

On July 29, 2005, a severe thunderstorm damaged the NYBOT-licensed coffee warehouses of Molenbergnatie 3 Way 7 and Wilmarsdonk 3 Way 9 in the Port of Antwerp. On August 2, NYBOT’s Cocoa, Coffee and Pulp Warehouse and License Committee instituted a moratorium on any further certification of coffee being stored at such warehouses until the repairs were completed and the warehouses meet Exchange standards.
