From News wires: Air Freight: Most flights to and from Tokyo's Haneda and Narita airports appear to be operating normally, though some flight cancellations, delays and diversions continue to occur. Flights into and out of Osaka appear to be operational with no major issues. Indications from the airlines show that some freight is moving on flights to/from/through Tokyo, however challenges are beginning to emerge for cargo destined for Narita, due at least in part to the import warehouses being at full capacity as local infrastructure is having difficulty facilitating the pick-up of freight from the airlines. Ocean Transportation/Ocean Consolidation Status The Northern Ocean Ports remain closed due to serious damage from both the earthquake and ensuing tsunami. The ports of Sendai, Ofunato, Hachinohe, Onahama, Kashima and Hitachinaka remain closed. The ports of Tokyo, Yokohama, Shimizu, Nagoya, Osaka, Kobe, Moji and Hakata are open. |
