Warning Strike at German Seaports

02. September 2026 | Operative Infos

Restriction of rail traffic

We want to inform you about the current situation and effects.

Important updates

The ver.di union is once again calling on employees at the Port of Hamburg to stage a 48-hour warning strike.
This is scheduled to begin with the night shift on Wednesday, 02.09.2026 and last until Friday, 04.09.2026, after the late shift.
We currently have no information regarding other German seaports.
As a result, massive disruptions and train cancellations are expected. Even after the end of the warning strike, significant backlogs, cancellations, and delays are anticipated in week 37

Delivery times or fixed dates cannot be guaranteed; these require unhindered transport by rail or road traffic.

As a precaution, we would like to point out that ROLAND Spedition accepts no liability for costs resulting from these events. Your contact person will be happy to answer any questions you may have about your transports.
