2024 Olympics and Paralympic Shipping Delays
The anticipation is building as the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games draw near. Scheduled to take place from 26 July to 11 August for the Olympics and from 28 August to 8 September for the Paralympics, these events will unfold across various locations in and around Paris, France.
Service Impacts
During this period, the Olympic Committee and relevant authorities will implement changes to traffic conditions and restrict access to certain areas in Paris, as well as nearby cities. Some areas will be significantly impacted by reinforced security perimeters, resulting in restricted access rules. Consequently, these measures are expected to cause shipping delays.
Further information on these changes is available here for traffic conditions and here for security perimeters.
