Rail transport

The regulation of rail transport in Denmark is based on the Danish Act on Rail Business and the international CIM Convention. The rules are extensive and complex and have given rise to considerable issues of interpretation in both domestic and international cases.

Anyone involved in rail transport therefore often has a particular need for specialised legal advice in cases concerning e.g. damage to goods in transit.

Having many years’ experience in handling transport cases for domestic and foreign cargo owners, rail hauliers, and insurers, Kromann Reumert’s maritime and transportation law group has in-depth knowledge of national as well as international rail transport.
