As we move through the busy summer period, the Italian logistics landscape continues to face significant pressure, with rail congestion, infrastructure works and ongoing strike activity affecting transport services across the country.
At Kukla UK, we are actively monitoring these developments and remain committed to finding the most effective solutions for your shipments.
Ongoing rail congestion
There were planned strikes affecting trains on July 7-8, resulting in 21 hours of stoppage and disruptions throughout Italy, with trains guaranteed only during certain time slots.
While the most recent phase of rail infrastructure work has been completed, Italy’s rail network continues to operate under reduced capacity. The combination of post-industrial action recovery and peak season volumes has created congestion at rail terminals.
Hauliers are very busy as suppliers start to close for the summer shutdown in Italy. Rail services continue to remain congested.
There are no train strikes specifically announced for August in Italy, but there may be disruptions due to planned railway maintenance and other factors.
