Opóźnione operacje w porcie w Hamburgu - aktualizacja nr 1

23.7.2024

Dear Customers,

Following our yesterday’s newsletter, we regret to inform you of further complications of the situation with reception and clearance of trains at CTA Terminal.

Due to the current hold in operations of more than 48 hours, with no realistic possible of being able to catch up or at least minimise that backlog today, CTA Terminal has been forced to cancel 2 days’ slots.

This decision will importantly affect the transportation of already loaded export trains. It is not yet possible to get any replacement for the cancelled slots, and thus the clearance of the trains will be cumulatively delayed by 2–4 days. At the same time, the situation will greatly complicate planning and our flexibility to deliver containers to ever-changing vessel closings.

Due to the interconnectedness of the circulation of wagons between the Hamburg terminals, this situation may besides affect the anticipation of timely removal of import containers from any another terminals in Hamburg.

At the minute we do not dare to estimation erstwhile the situation will improve and stabilise. Our client Service will keep you informed as much as possible about the transportation dates of the already loaded and dispatched trains that are waiting to be received by CTA Terminal at various points along the way.

We are monitoring the situation closely and will inform you about the next steps all 24 hours.

METRANS Team
