Possible Transport Delays: Farmers’ Protests in Belgium and France
29-01-2024
Belgium and France are currently witnessing farmers’ protests, and these protests may result in delays to your shipments
The situation in Belgium and France is impacting logistical routes. In Belgium, farmers are currently blocking the Brussels Ring near Halle, leading to significant traffic disruptions. It is anticipated that Brussels will be completely blocked by the end of the afternoon, and this movement is expected to last a significant part of the week.
In France, farmers have announced plans to block all roads to and around Paris. Additionally, the wholesale market Rungis, a crucial transfer point, is on the verge of being blocked. To prevent potential blockades of Paris, 15,000 officers are being deployed in France. The French police are also deploying armored vehicles, particularly around access routes to airports. Our team is closely monitoring the situation and working on alternative routes to minimize the impact on your shipments. Despite these efforts, delays in your shipments may occur.
We apologize for any inconvenience, and we appreciate your understanding in these exceptional circumstances.
