Kuehne + Nagel said its services to and from Austria, via Linz and Krems, to all ports in the METRANS network were affected, as well as services to and from the Czech Republic via Ostrava, where the terminal was inaccessible. It added that Terminal Usti and Labem was closed due to high water levels.
It noted: “The route to the northern ports is still passable, but we are waiting for the development of the flood situation on the Elbe, which has not yet reached its maximum, and could completely stop the traffic.”
It added: “All trains in the Bilk-Schedule are currently parked on the route to and from Budapest, and there is no clear indication of when regular freight train traffic will resume.”
K+N said it understood that the Hungarian Vámosszabadi border crossing would be closed until 23 September.
MSC said some container terminals in the intermodal network were facing operational limitations due to the conditions.
