Despite our best efforts, we are incapable to replace the cancelled capacity at this time. Given these restrictions on the corridor, our capacity continues to be limited. Unfortunately, the deficiency of capacity will have an impact on the transit time of our trains to/from Koper.

If you have any questions regarding the current planning of your shipments and transit times to/from Koper, delight do not hesitate to contact our client Service Department.
