We would like to inform you that, following a strategic decision, active cooling services will no longer be
available for any rail and rail-combined transportation within the North Europe Continent (NEC) region
effective 1 September 2026.
As a result, from this date onward, we will no longer be able to accept new bookings that require active
temperature-controlled transportation on rail-based services.
Solutions Available
To continue supporting customers with active cooling requirements, the following transport solutions remain
available:
- Direct truck transportation within NEC
- Barge solutions via Westports
Important Note
This change applies only to active cooling services on rail and rail-combined transport solutions.
Non-active reefer containers are not affected and will continue to be accepted and transported on rail
services as normal.
We request you to consider the available alternative solutions listed above for future shipments requiring
active temperature control.
Should you have any questions or require assistance in reviewing existing transportation arrangements, please
contact your local Maersk representative.
