Current developments in container shipping and therefore on our supply chains.
 

Since July 8, 2024, all container ship traffic around Cape Town and Durban has come to a standstill due to strong winds. Many ships are seeking shelter in ports or waiting for the weather to improve. This is exacerbating the already tense situation with detour via the Cape of Good Hope, causing significant delays in both directions, particularly between the Indian subcontinent and Europe/America, and between the Far East/Southeast Asia and Europe.
 

To ensure that you continue to receive your orders on time, we kindly ask you to pre-order in good time. This allows us to plan better and helps to minimize possible delivery delays. We are in constant contact with our carriers to keep delays as short as possible.
 

If you have any questions, our team will be happy to help you at any time. Please do not hesitate to contact us.
