Dear Customers,

We have become accustomed to the fact that our services to/from North German ports are constantly facing various obstacles. From Wednesday 09/04/2025, however, the situation has got a small more complicated.

Trains in the direction of Bremerhaven, Wilhelmshaven are presently experiencing the biggest delays due to unplanned line closures around Hannover. There has been a slope slide in the area of this crucial railway junction. Detour routes are up to 200 km long and overcrowded. On the way to the north, we are so forced to continuously halt a changing number of trains.

The same event is besides blocking traffic to/from Rotterdam and Duisburg.

This disrupted train circulation besides has a major impact on our service to/from Hamburg, which is besides slowed down by recurring delays at the port terminals.On Sunday 13/04/2025, a train derailed at Eurokombi Hamburg. The aftermath was completely removed during this morning, but it will inactive consequence in longer unloading/loading times.

For the reasons described above, combined with the closure at Bohusovice and in the Elbe Valley area, it is essential to anticipate crucial delays for shipments to/from CZ and SK.

We are constantly monitoring the situation and working to mitigate the negative consequences..
