We have been made aware of high levels of delays upon container collection at Felixstowe Port. We wanted to bring this to your attention as early as possible as this will likely have a knock on effect with arrival times on deliveries.
“Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Port have entered into periods of high density cleaning in all communal areas and machinery. This has obviously manifested itself in severe delays and we are currently experiencing vastly extended turnaround times. In addition, this also means that the number of available VBS slots per hour has been largely reduced and therefore these slots are far more difficult to come by.”
As usual, we will of course do everything possible to communicate any delays as soon as we are made aware. We will of course keep all clients updated with how this situation progresses.
Many thanks for your patience and understanding during this time.
If you have any questions regarding your deliveries, please do not hesitate to contact our Operations Team / your Account Manager.
