The RCG, the freight railway company of ÖBB, has expanded its offering on the TransFER Duisburg–Curtici route with short-term bookable transport capacities. These new spot capacities are intended to provide freight forwarders and logistics companies with more flexibility to respond to short-term transport needs and fluctuating volumes.
Expansion of transport options
From now on, limited spot capacities for intermodal transport units such as containers or trailers can be booked in both directions between the Ruhr area and Western Romania. These quotas depend on the availability and utilization of the transport means. The introduction of these spot capacities allows companies to quickly access rail transport with fixed schedules and market-oriented prices during bottlenecks or demand peaks.
The connection between Duisburg and Curtici represents a direct transport option between Germany and Romania and offers a predictable solution for intermodal transport. With three departures per week and a fixed schedule, a stable foundation for freight traffic between the Ruhr area and Southeast Europe is established. Curtici serves as an important freight transport hub in Western Romania, while Duisburg is considered one of the largest inland ports in the world and is directly connected to the European rail network.
Advantages of the new spot capacities
The new spot capacities offer freight forwarders and logistics companies the opportunity to respond to transport needs at short notice without having to enter into long-term commitments. Booking is done under clearly defined conditions and can be canceled at any time. RCG emphasizes that the spot rates are competitive and may vary depending on availability.
With this measure, RCG is responding to the increasing demand for flexible transport solutions in a rapidly changing market environment. The new capacities are intended to help increase efficiency in intermodal transport between Germany and Romania and provide companies with a reliable transport option.
