In October and November, there are several public holidays in Europe that fall on weekdays, when companies are generally closed and pickups or deliveries are not possible.
Due to the driving bans for heavy vehicle traffic on public holidays, traffic going through Germany to other countries also slows down and causes delays in transport times.
The following public holidays should be taken into account when planning transport:
Thursday 3.10. Germany
Wednesday 23.10. Hungary
Monday 28.10. Ireland, Greece, Czech Republic
Thursday 31.10. Germany
Friday 1.11. Belgium, Austria, Croatia, France, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary.
Monday 11.11. Belgium, Poland, France, Serbia
Monday 18.11. Croatia, Latvia
Please also note that on Finnish Independence Day, Friday 6 December 2024, both our CHS, and Scanlink offices are closed.
