Following concerns about the rapid spread of a new variant of Covid-19, more than 30 countries have responded by imposing travel restrictions on passengers (and in some cases freight,) from the UK.
Currently the port of Dover and the Eurotunnel to both France and Belgium are closed to all exports of accompanied freight leaving the UK. Air travel has also been cancelled or severely restricted to over 30 international countries.
C4 Logistics want to reassure our customers that transports within Europe (excluding the UK) are currently unaffected. We still have transport options available so if you have any concerns, we advise you to contact our operations centre: ops@c4logistics.com as soon as possible.
