O.T.S. ASTRACON UPDATE
11. March 2022Dear customers, We have all been working in this industry for a long time and, after the massive impact of the pandemic, we certainly did not expect to be hit hard again a short time later. Global logistics has once again come under extreme pressure.
Every day we receive information from airlines and shipping companies about capacity cuts, surcharge increases or from transport companies that are forced to increase their tariffs due to skyrocketing fuel prices.
Our aim is always to offer you the best transport option within the shortest possible time and to respond as quickly as possible.
This is currently more difficult than ever, as almost every shipment has to be requested, standard agreements have been suspended and the response times of airlines and shipping companies are currently much slower than usual.
We will continue to stick to our claim "short response time"! We ask for your understanding if it takes a little more time due to the current situation.
In the hope of a speedy improvement / return to normality
Are impacts to be expected for rail shipments on the 'New Silk Road'?
