The situation in Latakia is now calm. Terminals and ports are operating normally however the withdrawal of cargo is minimum, only part (about 50%) of cargo destined to Damascus and Aleppo are currently moving.
As volitility in Syria is still high the status at the port could change quickly and so this will be monitored and acted upon daily. Where necessary shipments will be moved to Abels Customs Bonded International Warehouse to await foreign office approval to ship.
