For today, Friday 21 September, we have to advise that from 1900 hours to 0700 hours on Saturday 22 September R&D operations will work with limited capacity. We request that transport companies keep to booking times as far as possible to avoid congestion.

We request rail users refrain from sending Export Containers that are not for the above mentioned vessels. Containers that are booked to load later vessels will not be unloaded from the train and will be returned.
