DSV has Stopped all Operations in Ukraine
We have put an immediate stop to all activity in Ukraine following the Russian invasion
02-24-2022
On the morning of February 24th, Ukraine declared martial law as a result of the situation currently evolving in the country. As a consequence, DSV has stopped all activity in the country until further notice.
The shutdown of operations encompasses the entirety of Ukraine, including all offices in Ukraine, which are closed indefinitely to avoid unnecessary risk and keep our employees safe.
Significant Operational and Capacity Challenges
DSV expects that the recent developments in Ukraine will give rise to significant operational and capacity challenges for the entire region, including Russia, and for all transport modes. The situation in Ukraine is considered force majeure, and it is already now also affecting DSV operations in other countries in the region.
For now, all air traffic to and from Ukraine has been stopped, and it is expected that other means of transportation will also be affected by the situation. Additionally, the trucking capacity for the region is being affected by tight border controls and Ukrainian nationals working as truck drivers or in other supply chain functions all over Europe seeking to return home on immediate basis.
The shutdown of our operations also applies to IT, and strict security measures have been taken to protect DSV and our customers.
Keeping employees safe
It is DSV's main priority to ensure that Ukrainian employees are safe. Therefore, all DSV employees in the country have been asked to stay home, stay safe, and follow instructions from local authorities.
DSV is following the situation in Ukraine closely, and there will be regular updates as the situation unfolds.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your DSV contact.
