Due to the deteriorating security situation in the Middle East and the escalating military conflict in the region, most of our services have been significantly disrupted. We are currently operating under multiple constraints and contingencies, with our network operations significantly impacted. At this stage, it remains uncertain how long these conditions will persist. Please rest assured that we are taking all necessary measures to ensure the safety of our people, safeguard our customers’ cargo, and maintain service stability across the network.

In light of these operational challenges and the associated increase in costs, we will implement ECS from below Origins to Khor Fakkan, UAE and Sohar, Oman To Khor Fakkan (UAE)
