Six major rail freight operators have signed an agreement to launch "Track Together," a mutual-aid operational scheme designed to reduce congestion on the Port Railway Line in Rotterdam.
The service, operated by Dania Connect, runs with a transit time of approximately five hours and currently offers one departure per week, with plans to increase to three weekly departures.
The company indicated that volumes from several regional firms would be consolidated to build regular services.
The operator said the terminal is designed to increase capacity and improve reliability for services between Perth, Kalgoorlie and the east coast.
The preferred option carries a base budget of around EUR 62m.
The terminal is located adjacent to several logistics companies and serves combined transport flows in the Berlin region.
The service will operate two round trips per week, with one outbound and one return connection, and can increase to three round trips in the short term.
The ports of Bremen and Bremerhaven handled 65.3 million tonnes of seaborne cargo in 2025, up 5.4% year on year, with container traffic in Bremerhaven driving the increase. Throughput reached 4.9 million TEU, a rise of more than 10%.
The transaction concerns the Arad South intermodal terminal, located in western Romania near the Hungarian border.
The notice follows restrictions announced by several shipping lines due to heightened security risks in the Middle East.
This brings rail into regular use at the Adriatic port and adds an intermodal option for cargo flows.
Two signed memoranda of understanding aim at developing intermodal logistics in Northwest Italy, focusing on the Turin–Orbassano terminal.
The 17-acre terminal provides direct northbound and southbound access to the West Coast Main Line via the Northampton loop.
The growth follows the launch and expansion of several new intermodal services.
Under the arrangement, maritime containers moving through Wilhelmshaven are transferred to rail for inland distribution to Debrecen.
The deal will combine the two operators’ first- and last-mile rail services and terminal infrastructure businesses across Canada and the United States.
At full capacity, the terminal is designed to handle up to 44 trains per day and approximately 395,000 intermodal transport units (ITUs) per year.
The upgrade, backed by an investment of EUR 10m, increases the terminal area to 42,000 m² and adds two 550 m tracks.
The facility is designed to strengthen rail freight links between Ukraine and the European Union.
The project is designed to assess the operational feasibility of shifting the traffic to combined transport.
