UPS says services may be impacted in southern US, Louisiana by Hurricane Francine
Sept 11 (Reuters) -United Parcel Service UPS.N said on Wednesday its pickup and delivery services in the southern part of the U.S., especially Louisiana, may be impacted due to Hurricane Francine.
The parcel delivery giant said it is trying to resume services in the affected areas as soon as possible.
"Contingency plans are in place to help ensure that shipments arrive at their final destinations as quickly as possible," it said.
Hurricane Francine has intensified into a Category 2 hurricane on Wednesday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said, claiming the hurricane was about 100 miles (160 km) west-southwest of New Orleans, Louisiana.
UPS rival FedEx FDX.N had previously followed suit saying its services could be disrupted in some markets of Louisiana, adding that its customers in New Orleans and Lafayette could see their services impacted too.
