The MOT said that the warehousing sector was not subject to the operational limits of essential goods only as it provided storage and unloading services of finished goods to the port. “The warehousing sector activities do not involve any manufacturing activities. “As such, the warehousing sector can continue to operate without restrictions on the types of essential and non-essential goods,” it said. The ministry added that the essential services that were permitted for the transportation and logistics sector included sea, air and maritime transport; goods and public transport; as well as ports and airports.
