17.3.2023 Easter holidays in April impact loading and transport schedules both in Finland and elsewhere in Europe.

During the Easter week (week 14) the Friday groupage departures from Finland are moved to Thursday April 6, and the shipment pick-ups are correspondingly made earlier.

Also in import to Finland, groupage departures take place already on Wednesday or Thursday (April 5/6) instead of Friday in some countries.

After Easter, departures scheduled to the beginning of the week are mainly cancelled due to the short working week. For instance, departures from Czech Republic on April 11 and from Poland on April 12 to Finland are cancelled.

In general, the Easter holidays are likely to cause delays to pickups and deliveries in both export and import. Please agree on schedules for part and full loads separately with our customer service.
