Coronavirus Update - October 27

Allyn International is committed to providing you with the latest updates during this very fluid and ever-changing period. Our goal with the information provided below is to give you a high-level, current overview of the most heavily impacted regions.

COVID-19 infections continue to increase throughout Europe. It is unclear whether case numbers are higher due to increased testing or an actual increase in infection rate but the risk to people with pre-existing conditions remains high. Several governments in the region have reinstated lockdown measures but the degree varies greatly by country. It continues to be very important to verify the operational status of your pick-up and delivery locations.

The following tables will provide the current cargo transport operational status and capacity levels for heavily
affected countries.

  • Limited capacity from Australia to the Americas, Asia Pacific and Europe. Minor container shortages.
  • Capacity is available from Japan and UAE
  • Capacity is low from South Korea to Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Americas. Capacity is available to the Middle East and Africa. No container shortages.
  • Capacity is very low from India to APAC, Europe, the Middle East and the US. Major container shortages.
  • Capacity is low from Brazil across all trade lanes. Moderate container shortages.
  • Capacity is available from Singapore across all trade lanes except the Americas, where capacity is tight. Minor to medium container shortages.
