Dear Customers,
 
Today, we have again prepared the latest updates from the northern part of the METRANS network.
 
For northern German ports in general, it applies that import services are fully booked weeks in advance, and the volume of import shipments accumulated in the ports is enormous.
 
Hamburg: HPA has lifted traffic control today after almost a month. Although port terminals are operating with delays of several hours only, their capacities are exceeded and they are unable to provide any additional handling volumes. Regulations imposed by DB InfaGO are still in place. We continue to face a shortage of train sets for imports, and overall operations remain slowed down.
 
Bremerhaven: After the recent snowfall, import trains have resumed operations with delays. We are making every effort to minimize the backlog.
 
Gdańsk: The Baltic Hub terminal is gradually reducing handling delays, and our trains are also approaching the regular timetable. Import services remain fully booked until 12 February 2026. As soon as possible, we will apply for additional ad-hoc trains.
 
Rotterdam / Duisburg: Services are operating without major issues.
 
Poland: Railway capacity is locally affected by ice formation on overhead lines. The railway infrastructure manager PKP PLK is regulating border crossings into Poland.
 
We hope that the situation will allow us to gradually return to normal operations.
 
For inquiries regarding your specific shipments, please contact our customer service.
