Re: 

France Strike Today, Cross-Andes Pass Closed

France Nationwide Strike June 24

Be advised that there is a nationwide strike in France in protest of reforms to the retirement system. Most branches of civil services will strike along with nationalized industries. Cargo movement and container positioning will be affected by rail, dock, and port terminal closures today.

Cross-Andes pass closed, affecting Argentina shipments

Be advised that due to winter storms the international tunnel between Argentina (Mendoza) and Chile is closed, affecting Argentina shipments via Chile. Storms are forecast for the next three days. See the regional satellite weather map online at weather.com.

We will continue to update on further developments. For status on any pending orders check with your operations representative at 732-388-0101 or login to the AXIS website for further detail.
