We would like to provide you with a regular update on the current and upcoming events affecting our rail operations and the connected seaport terminals.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Track Closures & Service Disruptions<\/h2>\n

Repair work following a trackbed landslide, including a full line closure, began on April 7 and is expected to last until April 30. All trains are being rerouted via Osnabr\u00fcck, resulting in delays of 2 to 5 hours. This affects our entire network.<\/p>\n

On top of that, several additional incidents in the Northern region are causing further disruption:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Overhead line failure between Hannover and Hamburg (near Gar\u00dfe) \u2013 route closed.<\/li>\n
  • Line closure between Hamburg and Bremen due to new embankment construction.<\/li>\n
  • Traffic between Hannover and Hamburg only possible via Celle \u2013 which has also been fully closed since last night.<\/li>\n
  • A disabled train is blocking one of the detour routes.<\/li>\n
  • Remaining alternative routes are now fully overloaded.<\/li>\n
  • A train from another rail operator was directed onto a powerless section near Bremerhaven, causing our trains to stop short of the port.<\/li>\n
  • Around 70 trains headed to Hamburg or Bremerhaven are currently waiting on the Northern network for clearance.<\/li>\n
  • These disruptions have effectively cut off the ports of Hamburg and Bremerhaven from the rail network.<\/li>\n
  • Additional shunting delays in Hamburg due to overloaded infrastructure.<\/li>\n
  • In the South, a short-notice construction site between Plattling and Passau is causing more delays.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Impact on Our Network<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Currently, no train is running on schedule.<\/li>\n
    • Multiple train cancellations are affecting both our national and international network.<\/li>\n
    • Seaport and inland terminals are experiencing significant delays.<\/li>\n
    • Network stability and punctuality are severely impacted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      We are doing everything we can to minimize the impact on your bookings. Our dispatch team will continue to provide case-specific updates for any affected shipments.<\/p>\n

      Please check the availability of your loading units before delivery to seaport or inland terminals, and follow our booking information and notifications closely.<\/p>\n

      Further Work in May<\/h2>\n

      Following the current trackbed repairs, additional overhead line work is scheduled through May 12, which will lead to further significant delays.<\/p>\n

      Note for Terminal Customers<\/h2>\n

      Your active cooperation is important \u2013 especially in times of disruption. Please coordinate closely if you’re a terminal customer.<\/p>\n

      Important Legal Note<\/h2>\n

      Fixed delivery dates and timeframes can only be guaranteed if there are no traffic restrictions. For more details, please refer to our General Terms and Conditions.<\/p>\n
