Dear Customer,
At Freight Systems, we believe in keeping you informed of any developments that may impact your shipments. We would like to inform you that a severe winter storm has significantly disrupted logistics operations across the U.S. Northeast, particularly in the New York and New Jersey regions.
Key Impacts:
Air Freight:
- Air cargo operations at Newark Liberty International Airport and John F. Kennedy International Airport are currently suspended or heavily restricted due to severe weather conditions.
- Flight backlogs and delays are expected as operations gradually resume, subject to airline recovery plans and handling capacity.
Sea Freight:
- Port and terminal operations across the New York and New Jersey gateway are operating at reduced capacity due to limited staffing, trucking constraints, and restricted yard activity.
- Delays in container pickups, returns, and deliveries are expected, with temporary congestion likely during recovery.
Ground Transportation and Local Operations:
- Multiple Northeast states declared states of emergency and imposed commercial vehicle restrictions.
- While some restrictions have eased, transit times remain extended due to ongoing road clearance.
Please be assured that our team is closely monitoring the situation, and we will keep you promptly updated on any developments. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this time. For any urgent assistance, please contact your respective Freight Systems representative.
Regards,
Team Freight Systems
