Dear Customers,

We would like to inform you that the operational situation on the German railway network has been worsening due to track closures.
  
The congestion on diversion routes has been increasing in recent days, and operations are becoming more problematic. Unfortunately, we expect that the complete closure in the Elbe Valley from October 26 to November 8, 2025 (see our newsletter No. 086/2025 from August 21, 2025) will further complicate the situation. The restrictions will affect not only all transports to/from the northern German ports but will also have a negative impact on Rotterdam and Duisburg.
  
We are constantly monitoring the situation and doing everything we can to minimize the impact on our services. However, our options are limited due to the ongoing restrictions.
 
Please take possible delays into account when planning your shipments and contact our Customer Service for information about your specific shipments.
