Dear Customers,

In connection with the ongoing meteorological conditions and heavy rainfall in the southern part of Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, we are forced to inform you that there has been a significant reduction / stoppage of rail traffic since the weekend caused by extensive flooding.
 
Within the scope of our services, it mainly affects the connections

• to and from Austria – services via Linz, Krems from / to all ports in the METRANS network
• to and from the Czech Republic – services via Ostrava from / to all ports in the METRANS network
• transit trains northern ports – CZ, SK, HU via Pasov v.v.
• Gdansk – Ostrava v.v.
• Malaszewice – Ceska Trebova v.v.

Ostrava terminal is inaccessible by rail due to the flood situation.
Terminal Usti nad Labem will be closed from 10:00 a.m. due to high water level on the Elbe river.
 
The route to the northern ports is still passable, but we are waiting for the development of the flood situation on the Elbe, which has not yet reached its maximum and could paralyse or completely stop the traffic.

We continue to monitor the situation and will keep you informed.

METRANS Team
