Current situation at German seaports
The strike in the German seaports is having a strong impact on the tense operating situation in freight traffic. Due to high capacity utilization and staff shortages, the Hamburg Port Authority (HPA) has currently severely restricted the entry of trains. Many rail service providers are canceling further train rotations due to massive backlogs - with consequent effects on
import containers:
Loading only with severe delay.
Containers that have not been picked up from the port 3 days after unloading may be rerouted to a non-railroad interim storage facility at a cost.
Export containers:
Acceptance at inland terminals may be refused and presentation to customer may have to be postponed.
Interim storage are at the edge of capacity and therefore only feasible in individual cases.
Note:
Presentation dates and ship closings cannot always be met.
In general, no liability is assumed for additional costs resulting from the above circumstances.
