Highlights:
- The airbridge from Bangkok to Yangon is planned to continue with one Ilyushin 76 and one Antonov 12 until Logistics Cluster operations end on August 10th. However, as previously stated, this will not be sufficient to bring in all the cargo currently awaiting transport from Thailand. As of Monday, July 14th, the Logistics Cluster stopped accepting Cargo Movement Requests (CMR) for cargo movement from Bangkok, and all cargo for which CMR has been received but which will not make it onto the airbridge will be shipped by sea. 157 containers have already been secured on existing liner vessels over the next three weeks on a number of different sailings.
- A system of prioritization is now in place for all Logistics Cluster transport, most notably the airbridge and helicopter operations. The process is performed by a UNJLC prioritization officer, taking into account the priorities expressed by the IASC CT, the PONJA assessments, and the maximization of transport assets.
- The Logistics Cluster will be running warehouse training sessions for all interested staff who will be working in the Delta over the coming months. The first will take place from July 21st to 23rd in Bogale.
