Temporary Constructions effecting Rail Services to and from Bremerhaven

Maersk would like to inform you that upcoming infrastructure works will impact rail operations in Northern Germany. Due to rail construction on the section between Bremen and Lübberstedt, all rail connections to and from the Port of Bremerhaven will be completely suspended on the regular tracks from 2nd October to 6th October 2025. During that period, we are trying to secure capacity via alternative tracks to ensure container flows. The additional capacity will be limited and comes at higher costs.

We are working closely with our partners to minimize disruptions and explore alternative routing options. While we are doing our utmost to ensure minimum impact on your business, we will need to charge you additional costs. Exact amounts will be communicated in a second advisory by the end of this week.

Recommended Actions:

• Please consider adjusting your transport plans accordingly in advance.
• Reach out to your Maersk representative to discuss specific planning and scheduling.
• Monitor updates from Maersk for the latest developments.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we navigate this temporary disruption. Our teams remain committed to ensuring the continuity of your supply chain with minimal impact. We will reach out to customers with further details as soon as possible, so you have adequate time to prepare.

Our teams are here to serve you, so please don’t hesitate to contact to your local Maersk representative should you have any questions.
