Delays at Hamburg and Rotterdam Ports

The ports of Hamburg and Rotterdam are currently experiencing significant delays. Ships arriving and departing are affected by the ongoing congestion, resulting in delays that often span several days.

The primary cause of this situation is congestion. In Hamburg, occasional staffing shortages have worsened the problem, while Rotterdam’s Euromax terminal has been undergoing maintenance on three of its cranes, further contributing to the slowdown.

As a result, operations are running slowly, with terminals overwhelmed by containers. Unfortunately, feeder vessels have limited access, as priority is given to ocean vessels. It is expected to take some time before conditions return to normal.

Please reach out to your local contact person at FREJA if you have any questions or need assistance with your shipments.

We are closely monitoring the situation and will keep you updated.
