Our vessel, terminal, and trucking/rail serves are operating normally to ensure the integrity of your supply chain. We are also aware that many Latin American countries have announced border closings and/or quarantined cities. But in each case thus far, the borders remain open for the transport of cargo and supplies with manageable delays.
