The coronavirus causes large distortion and delay in the transportation of goods. Ports and airports operate 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 logistics world is slowly improving, but the damage and the backlog caused by the virus and quarantine measures are large.
Your shipments are in transit and you need a shelter while shuttered factories in Europe are closed? We are here to help! Maurice Ward Group teams have continued supplying, storing and offering warehousing solutions to our partners and customers throughout the entire COVID-19 pandemic. We now want to help you choose the best warehousing and storage solutions for your get-back-to-business plan.

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.
Maurice Ward Ireland continues to strengthen its commitment to quality, compliance, and operational excellence through the successful renewal and achievement of important industry certifications.
