Book your shipments early during the summer season to ensure smooth logistics and timely deliveries. Good to know about our summer opening hours 2025:

Transportation arrangements – things to consider during the summer season

Sea freight: Midsummer affects closing times – please contact us early to ensure your shipments depart before the public holiday.

Air freight: Midsummer has limited impact, but urgent shipments should still be booked in advance to avoid delays.

Road Freight: In several European countries, public holidays and vacation periods in the summer can cause delays and restrictions during heavy traffic times.

Ferry Traffic (Between Finland and Sweden & Estonia): The increase in passenger traffic around the summer season affects the ships' cargo capacity - Please take this into account when planning transports.

CHS and Scanlink will serve their customers as usual throughout the summer.
We wish everyone a sunny and relaxing start to the summer!
