A study, carried out by freight associations ERFA, NEE and UIR plus consultants HTC, of the Rastatt incident when a tunnel collapse under the main north-south freight artery south of Karlsruhe in Germany, causing a three-month blockage 12 August-2 October), concludes that the loss of value to the supply chain was just over €2 billion. Almost half this was loss of value creation for rail logistics companies (€969 million), the rest being loss of value creation by manufacturing industries (€771 million).
