In addition, Dexun Logistics also reminded that in view of the progress of the construction project,Rail traffic to the port of Genoa is expected to face full or partial closure between July and August this year,This will directly limit the rail transport capacity of the port. In view of this unexpected situation, De Xun predicts that the carrying capacity of the overall truck transport will also be affected and under pressure.
To meet this challenge, Desun is actively evaluating other rail links as alternatives,However, given the current strain on capacity resources, it is expected that these alternative routes may be congested, affecting transport efficiency.
At the same time, as far as the storage situation is concerned, the storage in Milan and surrounding areas (not limited to this area) has been saturated, and the storage space for goods is tight. In conjunction with the announced strike action and the reduction of rail links to the port of Genoa, De Xun reminded customers,Delays in picking up or shipping may be encountered, affecting the on-time circulation of goods.
It is recommended that freight forwarders plan logistics plans in advance, consider the use of diversified transportation methods, and reserve sufficient buffer time to cope with possible delays to ensure the stability and smoothness of the supply chain.
