The situation in the Middle East
Due to the deteriorating security situation in the Middle East, both air and ocean transport services are being affected. Several operators have already cancelled departures, introduced reroutings, or implemented temporary booking suspensions.
At present, this includes among other things:
Cancelled and reduced air connections to and from the region, resulting in a high risk of delays.
Rerouting of ocean shipments, leading to extended transit times. The few services that previously continued to transit the Suez Canal have now suspended these sailings and are once again routing vessels around the Cape of Good Hope.
Some operators have introduced temporary suspensions on new bookings to the Middle East.
We are closely monitoring the situation and will provide updated information as further details become available.
Should you have any questions regarding ongoing or planned shipments, or require alternative transport solutions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Please contact your freight forwarder.
