On-the-ground in Libya:
As protests in Libya have grown, communications have been disrupted, with no internet access across the country and limited phone services.
Transport links have been impacted causing delays to road freight. All ports are currently closed and air freight into the country is suspended.
“At this stage regional logistics provider Agility is advising that no cargo is to be shipped to Libya until further notice. As the situation continues to deteriorate, we expect further disruptions and closures.”
Closures to the Benghazi, Misurata and Tripoli ports mean Agility is diverting all cargo to Alexandria port, Egypt. Many shipping lines are now also diverting to Algeciras Port, Spain and Port of Gioia Tauro (Calabria), Italy.
At present all Agility operations have been suspended until the violence and unrest subsides and transport infrastructure is restored. There are currently no airfreight services being run into Libya due to safety concerns.
