Italy: Genova port operations stopped due to high winds; winter weather conditions affecting transport in Central Italy and Southern regions (Puglia)

Due to strong winds in the area the VTE Terminal in Genova port has stopped operations (no container pickups or releases) until weather improves.

In addition to the winter conditions still delaying container transport in Central Italy (specifically Lazio, Marche, Abruzzo and Molisse), now areas in southern Italy (Puglia region) are being affected by frost and freezing temperatures which is affecting transport in those areas.

Customers will be informed directly should this situation affect any pending shipments or you can login to AXIS for further detail or contact your operations representative at 732-388-0101.
