Hamburg Port Offers Rail Alternative Amid Low Rhine Water Levels
The Port of Hamburg is actively promoting its rail connections to Cologne and Duisburg as a reliable substitute for Rhine barge transport, which frequently faces disruptions due to low water levels. These rail services, operated by HGK Logistics and IGS Intermodal, ensure consistent transit times and capacity for container traffic when inland waterways are restricted. This initiative provides shippers with a stable transport chain for both import and export cargo between Western Germany and the seaport.
