EGIM I Newsletter I Current Situation in Railtraffic I Nr. 13_2026

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

as a matter of routine, we would like to provide you with an overview of current and upcoming events within our rail operations. This includes information from the area of the network operator as well as information from the environment of the connected seaport terminals.

  • Loading delays at HHLA terminals: CTA more than 12 hours, Burchardkai more than 12 hours.
  • Loading delay at EUROKOMBI terminal approx. 8 hours.
  • Derailment yesterday afternoon in the Port of Hamburg. As a result, part of the port was inaccessible until this morning.
  • Signal box in the Port of Hamburg unmanned for several hours. As a result, another part of the Port of Hamburg was also inaccessible this morning.
  • This led to shunting delays and train refusals. This has had a direct impact on our entire network.
  • This has resulted in severe delays and a large number of train cancellations.

Due to the circumstances, delays continue to occur at the seaport and inland terminals. These delays have a significant impact on the stability and punctuality of our network. We are making daily efforts to minimize the impact on your bookings as much as possible. Our scheduling department will continue to inform you of any affected bookings on a case-by-case basis. In order to avoid incorrect tours, please check the availability of the loading units before acceptance inland or at the seaport and take our advice notes and order-related information into account.

  • Long-term construction work between Nuremberg – Regensburg – Passau from February 6, 2026 to December 15, 2026. During this period, there will be two different diversions with adjusted train lengths:
    • February 6 – June 12 -> 620 m via Landshut / Plattling -> 23 cars
    • June 12 – July 11 -> 590 m via Salzburg -> 22 cars
    • July 12 – September 16 -> 620 m via Landshut/Plattling -> 23 cars
    • September 16 – timetable change -> 590 m via Salzburg -> 22 cars
  • Due to the longer distance and increased utilization of the alternative routes, delays are to be expected. Further restrictions cannot yet be fully predicted. We will inform you separately about these. This mainly affects our services to Hungary.

For the area of seaport terminals, we would like to point out that your cooperation as a potential terminal customer is also urgently desired.

With regard to deadlines, please refer to our General Terms and Conditions. Delivery deadlines or fixed dates cannot be guaranteed. These presuppose unhindered transport conditions on rail and road.
