The coronavirus continues causing large distortion and delay in the transportation of goods as many countries in Europe are again seeing a resurgence in COVID-19 cases and therefore are forced to go in another total lockdown. Ports and airports continue operating at half strength due to a shortage of personnel but also due to a limited supply of goods. Shipping companies have cancelled several crossings and there is a shortage of containers. The damage and the backlog caused by the virus and quarantine measures are remaining large.
Your shipments are in transit and you need a shelter while shuttered factories in Europe are closed? We are here to help! Our teams at Maurice Ward Group continue carrying out their duty by offering storage spaces during lockdown, now, and if needed, also in the future.

Did you know?
The first ever ‘cargo only’ flight was recorded in November 1910 in the USA, using a Wright Model B aeroplane that flew 65 miles carrying a package of silk. The business owner used the pioneering transport more as a PR stunt to celebrate the opening of his store, with the bundle of silk cut into individual pieces and glued onto souvenir postcards.
