APM Terminals Pipavav is extending free storage service for all containers from April 1-15, 2020, inclusive of both days. This will offer flexibility to its customers with extended logistic chain amidst the lockdown announced by the government in the wake of recent outbreak of COVID 19 pandemic and the wide-ranging measures taken to ensure safety of the population. The supply chain interruption at the ports is expected due to the impact on the downstream services. The free storage facility at the port will help its customers to plan their onward land logistics suitably and help maintain the supply chain.

Jakob Friis S?rensen, Managing Director, APM Terminals Pipavav said, ?The extension of free storage service at our port is a step towards offering flexibility to our customers for their goods? onward movement. We are committed to ease the supply chain for our customers in these challenging times and this is a small step towards it.?

APM Terminals Pipavav continues safe operations at the port by adopting stringent measures in line with the guidelines of the Directorate General of Shipping (DGS), Government of India, Government of Gujarat and local statutory bodies, in the wake of COVID 19.
