DSV ROAD COVID-19 UPDATE – MARCH 25, 2020 Turkey: • New boundary restrictions implemented. Drivers who are citizens of AT, DE, NL, BE, ES, FR, NO, DK, SE and IT, will not be allowed to enter Turkey via Kapikule border. • Drivers who bring cargo or transit from these countries will not be allowed to enter Turkey for 14 days. • Customs are open • Exporting of hygiene products is not allowed. Domestic On Domestic traffic we experience good volume of goods, although we still handle challenges related to staffing at the terminal and extra capacity on linehaul and distribution. We put all our energy into ensuring that freight forwarding will continue as normal from all terminals, and from our main terminal at Langhus. Thermo We are experiencing a good volume of goods, but will expect a decrease in goods other than food. Our own trucks are fully staffed with drivers. Some available capacity from other carriers outside the market is reported. AIR As mentioned earlier, the introduced travel bans in several countries result in less activity, thus reducing or cancelling passenger flights. The market is extremely dynamic, and rates change daily, especially from/to Asia and the US. More restrictions and reductions in aircraft capacity are expected. Currently, several markets are open, excluding India, but the possibilities for air cargo are very limited. Longer lead times must be expected. SEA Although China’s westbound traffic has reopened, the many cancelled departures from Asia will lead to reduced capacity in Europe over the next three weeks. At present, capacity to/from European ports is not a challenge. In conclusion, we want t o assure you that DSV’s Executive Crisis Committee continues to monitor the situation closely. Our own emergency group in Norway will ensure that our customers and organizations receive the necessary information, and that necessary measures are implemented as needed. We would like to emphasize that as it now appears, we are able to maintain and ensure as normal operation as possible. The situation in Norway and globally is changing daily, and necessary changes will be made at short notice. We would also like to encourage our customers to have a close dialogue with their suppliers and recipients in order to secure the possibilities for pickup and delivery of goods.
