Coronavirus Update - October 6

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

Several countries throughout Europe see an increase in COVID-19 infections. Many governments are reintroducing social distancing measures, including limiting the number of people who can gather and requiring masks in public places. Although there are currently no full lockdowns in place, the situation remains very fluid. To help mitigate the impact on the transport of goods, we continue to advise that you secure your transport needs as soon as possible, including receiving confirmation from your carriers.

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, Middle East, Africa, and the Americas. Major 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.
