Inland Update

In line with the ongoing Collective Labour Agreement (CLA) negotiations in Germany, our inland teams are monitoring the situation at terminals and its potential impact on carrier haulage to and from the terminals. The last round of strike actions at the terminals has ended on 11 July, and there is currently no impact to carrier haulage as a result. Our teams continue to follow the situation closely and keep customers informed, should there be any changes. Read the latest updates here.

Last month, exceptionally high water levels on the river Rhine have resulted in suspension of barge services, making our teams change barge bookings into rail or truck transport where possible. The high water level period has now ended, and barge services continue to operate with usual capacity. While summer months typically bring along the issues of low water levels, July measurements are looking more positive compared to both the previous year, and the five-year average. Our teams will continue to keep an eye on the situation and keep customers informed of any changes in barge transport.
