The for­ward­ing com­pa­nies that we reg­u­lar­ly appoint to trans­port your prod­ucts are cur­rent­ly expe­ri­enc­ing a sharp increase in the num­ber of absences as a result of coro­n­avirus infec­tions or sus­pect­ed cas­es, which are lead­ing to staff short­ages, par­tic­u­lar­ly among truck dri­vers, due to the cur­rent quar­an­tine rules. As a result, goods that are ready for pick-up at our ware­house can­not be loaded and trans­port­ed to their des­ti­na­tion at the moment, or only with a sig­nif­i­cant delay.

Added to this is the fac­tor that freight for­ward­ing com­pa­nies have tem­porar­i­ly decom­mis­sioned parts of their fleets that run on LNG gas due to the high increase in gas prices. The loss of this car­go capac­i­ty can­not be com­pen­sat­ed for by oth­er vehi­cles in the short term, which con­tributes to a fur­ther short­age of freight for­ward­ing capacity.

This is what we can do togeth­er to man­age this sit­u­a­tion in the best pos­si­ble way

Please plan for a delay of sev­er­al days for deliv­er­ies cur­rent­ly expect­ed. We will active­ly approach you to bun­dle any par­tial deliv­er­ies that are to be deliv­ered with­in a few weeks into one deliv­ery. Please plan your require­ments in advance and in close coor­di­na­tion with our col­leagues in Sales and Cus­tomer Ser­vice. If you have your own pick-up pos­si­bil­i­ties that can be specif­i­cal­ly named and are avail­able on a dai­ly basis, please con­tact us. Oth­er­wise, we will con­tin­ue to take care of your delivery.

As in the past two years of this pan­dem­ic sit­u­a­tion and some crises with­in logis­tics dur­ing this time, we are firm­ly con­vinced that we will once again be able to man­age this sit­u­a­tion pos­i­tive­ly togeth­er with you as a long-stand­ing part­ner. With this in mind, we would like to thank you for your trust and under­stand­ing. Please do not hes­i­tate to con­tact us if you have any fur­ther questions.
