A Rotterdam court has granted rail freight operator and shunting company Rotterdam Rail Feeding a provisional suspension of payments. The cause of the financial problems is not yet known. Within two to four months, it will become clear whether the suspension of payments is definitive. A creditors\u2019 meeting is scheduled for 9 February 2027.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

RRF is by no means a small local shunting company. The company provides shortline and last-mile services, terminal shunting and feeder services in the Port of Rotterdam. It also runs cross-border services in the Netherlands and Germany. The company says it is active on three TEN-T corridors.<\/p>\n

However, the question remains why RRF applied for a suspension of payments. No public reports are available yet. RRF is part of the large international infrastructure investor Brookfield. RailFreight.com has reached out to RRF for comment.<\/p>\n

Earlier, RailFreight.com published a story on Germany’s Third Track works, just across the border from the Netherlands. They strongly impacted RRF operations. The operator explained that all additional costs were for rail companies or their customers to bear. As a consequence of the extra costs and lower reliability, some shippers started to look elsewhere, leading to a reverse modal shift.<\/p>\n
