Due to a total failure of Deutsche Bahn’s train radio system last night, there are restrictions on rail services. This situation, combined with other restrictions, is also leading to train cancellations.
Currently, there are low water levels, and we would like to inform you about the current gauge levels at Emmerich, Ruhrort, Köln, and Kaub.
At present, average waiting times for the handling of our barges in the seaports are:
Antwerp: 50 hours
Rotterdam: 80 hours
As of July 1, 2026, the Netherlands will introduce a truck toll for vehicles weighing more than 3.5 tonnes. This will result in additional costs for road freight transport, particularly for shipments to and from the western seaports, and will therefore have a direct impact on the costs of your road-based container transport operations.
