Transport market for fashion industry bounces back
Light at the end of the tunnel: the transport market for the fashion industry is beginning to recover. "Customers are reporting improvements in all modes of transport, and data from our SCM software OSCA confirms this," said Setlog. The German software company regularly analyses the data of around 100 fashion brands and their supply chain partners.
Concerning the European trucking business, textile forwarding companies are benefiting from a decision of the Turkish government in mid-May: The general quarantine regulations for non-Turkish truck drivers have been lifted. Transportation in the other direction is also starting to get rolling.
Furthermore, according to Sedlog, freight trains on the new Silk Road are well booked with relatively stable rates per container. (ben)
