48/72 h rules at Hamburg terminals

The ongoing and unchanged congestions and delays in most European ports are leading to persistent and extreme delays of ocean vessels at the Terminals in Hamburg. This situation has a direct impact on the yard
utilization, as the dwell time of export containers is increasing constantly and day by day.

CTA is forced to implement the ’48-hours rule’ for export containers delivered by truck, meaning that CTA will not accept any export container (including dangerous cargo units) more than 48 hours before vessels arrival. 

CTT, CTB and Eurogate are forced to implement the ’72-hours rule’ for export containers delivered by truck, meaning
that these terminals will not accept any export container (including dangerous cargo units) more than 72 hours before vessels arrival. 

We will check all current transports and try to find a solution to avoid any extra costs. 

Thanks in advance for your understanding.

Best regards,
HBH-Team
