As you may have already heard or read, DP World has recently fallen victim to a cyber-attack, resulting in significant disruptions to their operations and systems. This unforeseen incident has impacted our ability to adhere to our regular delivery schedules, and unfortunately, some deliveries scheduled for today, 13/11/2023, may be cancelled.

Clients that have been, or may be, affected will be individually contacted.

We understand the potential inconvenience this may cause and assure you that we will make every effort to provide timely updates and support.

Currently, the industry has faced difficulties with container collections since Friday night, with several slots being cancelled up until today.
