Rail access to the Port of Rijeka has been completely suspended for an anticipated 48-hour period due to a freight wagon derailment at a nearby station. The incident took place around 5:20 PM on September 2nd, effectively cutting off all inbound and outbound rail freight traffic for the Croatian port.
For freight forwarders and logistics professionals, this disruption means immediate re-routing of cargo destined for or originating from Rijeka by rail. Shippers should anticipate delays and potentially increased costs if alternative transport modes like road are utilized. Capacity on road networks might also see a temporary increase in demand. Forwarders should communicate proactively with clients regarding revised schedules and potential impacts on supply chains.
