At present, average waiting times for the handling of our barges in the seaports are:
Antwerp: 65 hours
Rotterdam: 73 hours
Due to continued crane disruptions at the ECT Delta (DDE) Terminal and limited quay availability at the ECT Delta (DDN) Terminal, operational capacity is currently reduced. As a result, delays in container handling are occurring.
From Friday, April 17, 2026, 10:00 PM until approximately June 5, 2026, the bridge complex in Duisburg-Ruhrort (OB-Karl-Lehr Bridge) will be completely closed for around seven weeks. During this period, traffic will be diverted over a wide area.
Due to the delivery and installation of new crane equipment at the ECT Euromax Terminal, handling capacity will be severely restricted for approximately 14 days starting from 13 April 2026 at 23:00.
