Update: Hurricane Ike

15/09/2008

Please be informed that the airports and ports remain closed but are expected to re-open 16th September. The Houston G. Bush intercontinental airport will operate at a reduced level on Monday 15th, with planned inbound flights

from 5:33am and departure flights starting from 6:30am. The Port of Houston Authority will not be open to receive drop offs or deliveries on Monday due to loss of electricity.

Lines are currently down in the Genesis Houston Office. However, our staff are contactable via their cell phones. In the first instance please contact Chris Schumacher on +1 713 498 7271. Should you experience any problems with this number, please call our Chicago office on +1 847 290 8484.

Certain areas are without power and this may continue for up to two weeks. Your shipments will be managed and paperwork printed from our Chicago office until power is restored.

The management and staff at Genesis Forwarding Services are committed to offering all our clients directly affected by Hurricane Ike every assistance whether it's cargo related or as an information or service provider.
