Reported problems include congestion and delays at the borders and ports throughout Central America, affecting our ability to meet your requirements for on-time positioning and equipment dispatch.
Despite these challenges, Crowley is committed to providing quality service and will continue to monitor the situation to take all necessary measures to minimize the impact on your cargo operations.
