OOCL Logistics Update – August 13, 2026

Pakistan Domestic Transportation Strike 

The All-Pakistan Goods Transport Alliance strike continues into its fourth day after negotiations with government representatives concluded without an agreement. The ongoing disruption is starting to impact the transportation of goods nationwide and may affect the availability and pricing of essential commodities.

Alliance President Malik Shehzad Awan stated that transport operators have decided to maintain the strike until the government responds to their concerns. Businesses should monitor developments closely as further delays in domestic cargo movement remain possible.

Rhine Record-Low Water Levels Fuel Congestion Across Europe’s Supply Chain

Record-low water levels on the Rhine River are disrupting barge transportation between Rotterdam, Antwerp, and key inland European markets, forcing cargo onto already constrained rail and truck networks. With approximately 35% of Rotterdam’s hinterland containers normally moving by barge, logistics experts warn that continued restrictions could lead to congestion, longer transit times, higher costs, and potential bottlenecks at Europe’s two largest ports.

OOCL Logistics is closely monitoring the supply chain impact and will maintain close communication with our customers that this may affect. 

OOCL Logistics will keep you informed of any additional important developments. For more information, please contact your International Supply Chain Specialist or Sales Representative. 

Thank you for your continued support of OOCL Logistics.
