Effects of the Coronavirus on the pan-European Transport Business

Dear Sir or Madam As you have been able to read in all the relevant media reports in recent days, the corona Virus (SARS-CoV-2) is spreading further throughout Germany and Europe. The coronavirus not only poses a health risk to people worldwide, its rapid spread is also increasingly affecting logistical transport chains. At this point in time, the short and medium term restrictions on transport routes within Europe cannot yet be assessed in definite terms. Up to now, the virus occurs predominantly in the north of Italy. However, an expansion of the virus area in Europe and the overseas region must be expected at any time.

Results of the Storms: Bottlenecks in Container Deliveries in the Port of Hamburg

Due to the storms over the last few weekends, a difficult situation has arisen for the delivery of export containers to the port of Hamburg: At the terminals, loading of the vessels was partially stopped. In addition, some vessels departed earlier than planned and left cargo/containers in port. Due to these events, there is currently limit free capacity left in the terminals for the delivery of new containers. To counteract this situation, export containers currently can only be delivered to the CTB and CTA terminals 48 hours before ship arrival.

Customer Information: Latest Information About Brexit

The situation regarding Brexit has become more acute in recent days and hours: After the withdrawal agreement negotiated between London and Brussels had initially cleared the first hurdle in the British Parliament with a clear majority of 30 votes, the British House of Commons voted shortly thereafter against a regulated Brexit as of 31 October 2019. Prime Minister Boris Johnson is now requesting a further extension of the EU deadline to prevent an unregulated withdrawal by Great Britain. However, the 27 remaining EU member states must first agree to a further postponement.
