What a shocker, sea freight delay

[niello8]

Just got some cranky mood inducing news this morning. Our bike is sitting in Singapore. We sent it sea freight from Dili, Timor Leste (air freight was not an option) to Vancouver but it has to change boats in Sing. It was going well, all cozy in a big crate but now we hear they want it uncrated, put on a pallet, and the oil drained before loading on the 2nd boat. All of the sudden there is some yammering about Dangerous goods, I thought DG was only for planes? The Dili freight agent is very nice but this is getting way outside their usual runs. We are in DC trying to avoid flying to Sing to sort this big fat mess out. Anyone have words of wisdom? Our bums grow itchy to be back on the road so it's much appreciated
