August Shutdown

Many factories throughout Europe will soon commence their annual summer shutdowns.

These closures will mainly affect the Italian market with most factories closing from 12th of August and reopening on the 26th of August 2024

In addition, the first weekend in July until the end of August 2024 driving bans for heavy vehicles every Saturday, Sunday and on some occasions on a Friday will be imposed.
 
Before and during this period, Neptune Shipping Agency will continue to operate their Container, Trailer and Multimodal services throughout Italy and the rest of Europe.

Due to this situation and the inevitable increased tonnage being shipped during this period, deliveries are likely to incur a slightly longer transit time than usual, but we will of course make every effort to deliver your goods at the earliest opportunity as we always do.
 
We would therefore advise customers to make sure their consignments are available for collection at the beginning of the week and that orders are placed well before the shutdown commences to avoid disappointment.
 
If consignments are available for collection during the actual shutdown period, we will of course endeavour to collect and deliver as soon as possible and within our normal transit times, but allowances will need to be made due to the circumstances.
 
For more information regarding the shutdown, please do not hesitate to contact your account handler who will assist with your enquiry.
