Storm Klaus Brings Delays to North Europe Ports

In Germany, storm Klaus hit the country’s coast and mountain regions today bringing hurricane force winds and severe rain. Due to these current effects, North European ports such as Rotterdam, Hamburg and Antwerp have suspected terminal operations. Please be aware that this may lead to handing restrictions and may also increase delays and costs in some areas.

This news of bad weather and port closures is coming at a time when delays are already running rampant, and we can expect shipments out of Northern Europe to be even further delayed. Please continue to build more time in your supply chain to accommodate for these delays. We will continue to monitor this situation, and please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
