Update to transport situation from China

We got information by various shippers that a further impact of coronavirus goes into container availability. It is reported that capacities have been reduced by 50% due to blank sailings, prices for shipments in March have been increased considerably  Moreover even standard equipment not to speak of special equipment is running out. Carriers have launched extra charges for changes or cancellations. Shippers fear that the peak is not yet reached.

We will keep you updated about new developments.

Very best regards
