What happens in countries which introduce lock-down measures?

DSV will continue operations while taking the necessary measures to ensure the health and safety of our employees and business partners.

In some countries, some or most office staff are working from home and those staff in the office are following the rules about maintaining social distance. Terminals and warehouses are operational and we obey guidelines and restrictions in any given country/region. 

At DSV we will do our utmost to maintain operations as close to normal as possible. 

Which DSV operations are affected by the COVID-19 situation?

In general, we are operational. Some but not all operations are affected and not to the same extent. The situation is developing day by day, and we strongly encourage customers to reach out to their usual contact person at DSV.
