Update Congestion Situation in Rotterdam and Antwerp
We would like to inform you about the ongoing delays at the seaports of Antwerp and Rotterdam: waiting times in Rotterdam are currently up to 72 hours. In Antwerp, waiting times are up to 60 hours.
We would therefore like to point out that arrival times cannot be guaranteed and closings cannot be kept. We must therefore disclaim any liability for all resulting costs (e.g. demurrage and detention) as a precaution.
