Dear Customers,

According to the latest reports, delays in clearance in Hamburg persist at only 2 terminals. Eurogate reports a 12-hour delay. At CTA, despite all efforts, the situation is more difficult. We would like to inform you of the measures taken by CTA terminal.
Late vessel arrivals and early transportation of export shipments according to first vessel arrival schedules are presently causing congestion in the CTA terminal area.

Despite the intensive usage of all resources and additional interior measures, the delivered export volume presently exceeds the retention capacity available at CTA. To counter this situation, CTA will implement temporary restrictions on the transportation of export containers for all modes of transport.

From Monday, 4 November 2024, the transportation of export containers will so be regulated individually, i.e. CTA reserves the right not to accept railcars with containers for a ship that are delivered earlier than 7 days before its ETA.

To verify actual arrivals, delight mention to the information on the https://hhla.de/kunden/auskuenfte/coast website.

The fresh regulation tightens the already established regulation of accepting an export container only for the removal of an import container. The circulation of our trains remains very limited. Stopped export train sets cannot be utilized for imports not only from CTA but besides from another terminals.

Our efforts to usage capacity from another locations are complicated by the congested access roads to Hamburg. Due to the fact that Friday is simply a public vacation in Germany, we unfortunately cannot number on a quicker improvement of the situation. delight take this into account erstwhile planning your shipments.
Our client Service is available for circumstantial information about your shipments.

We would like to inform you about circumstances affecting our services to/from the Port of Hamburg.
