All ports on the English East Coast are closed for port side operation as are Delta, Euromax and APM Terminals in Rotterdam, Unifeeder said in its press release.
Unifeeder expects the Kiel Canal to close at Brunsbüttel from 15:00 hrs today, only opening at 22:00 hrs and several more ports to be affected as the storm draws west. Several of Unifeeder vessels are currently at ports, ready to leave but cannot due to high winds.
When the storm has subsided, there will be congestion at the terminals as well as in the Kiel Kanal and this will regrettably lead to delays in almost all services.
