LONDON (Reuters) – Japan’s Nissan Motor company will pause production at one of its British production lines on Friday due to supply chain disruption caused by the pandemic, and said it expects to resume production on Monday.

Global shipping has been hit by the pandemic, with containers and goods stuck in the wrong ports.

“Production on Line One at the plant has been paused due to supply chain disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic,” Nissan said of the line that produces Qashqai and LEAF cars in Sunderland. “We anticipate that production will resume on Monday next week.”
