Scheduled from 4 July to 8 July 2025<\/h2>\n

A full suspension of rail freight services in the western section of the Port of Hamburg is planned from 4 to 8 July 2025. The closure is due to construction work connecting the A26-West motorway to the A7.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What to Expect<\/h2>\n

The closure will halt all rail freight traffic to and from the Waltershof container terminals (HHLA and EUROGATE).
\nHeavy disruption is also expected in the lead-up and days following the closure, with wider impacts anticipated across the maritime supply chain.
\nIndustry-wide, a longer period of backlog is expected.<\/p>\n

Our Contingency Plan: Rerouting via DUSS-Billwerder<\/h2>\n

To ensure continued\u2014if reduced\u2014network service during the closure, we are preparing alternative routes in close coordination with the DUSS-Billwerder terminal in Hamburg (Halskestra\u00dfe).<\/p>\n

Planned rerouting applies to the following corridors:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Ulm<\/li>\n
  • Kornwestheim<\/li>\n
  • Munich<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Please note: these rerouted services will require truck transfers between the Hamburg seaport terminals and DUSS-Billwerder for pre- and post-carriage.<\/p>\n

    Cost and Handling Overview<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Rail traction to and from DUSS-Billwerder will be provided at no additional charge (based on f.o.r.).<\/li>\n
    • Handling and any applicable storage fees will be charged according to DUSS rates.<\/li>\n
    • For truck transfers between the seaport and DUSS-Billwerder, please budget EUR 300.00 per leg.<\/li>\n
    • Alternatively, you may choose to arrange your own truck handling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Booking Capacity<\/h2>\n

      To support timely planning and allocation, please confirm your capacity requirements for rerouted services via DUSS-Billwerder by 16 April 2025.
