As you may already know, Greece is one of Transcargo BV's most important countries. In view of the current situation and problems with the Euro, we will keep you up to date on developments. We are seeing a marked decrease in the number of consumer good and non-food transport flows to Greece. On the other hand, Greece is importing more foodstuffs. In addition, the number of exports from Greece has risen significantly over the period of a year.
More transport is now going by road where transport by sea was more common before. Various shipping companies have stopped their scheduled services and we have also noticed that volumes are generally declining. Transcargo BV specialises in partial and groupage shipments, a service we already provide and certainly one we will continue to provide. We dispatch several vehicles each day from Roermond to Greece.
Due to the current unrest, we are experiencing delays on a regular basis. Unfortunately, this is something we cannot control. We are naturally keeping a close eye on developments and will inform our customers immediately at all times. We try to take strikes into account and look for alternatives where possible. If necessary, we can take detours through the Balkan countries.
For more information about transport to and from Greece, please contact Kitty Hendrikx on + 31 (0)475 37 12 13 or by email at khendrikx@transcargo.nl.
