Innovative Germany - Austria service
The voestalpine steel division imports coal and ore via the Port of Hamburg. A novel concept developed by ILG Innovative Logistics Group on behalf of Logistik Service (LogServ) allows 20-foot containers to be loaded into bulk wagons for export.
The containers are loaded with steel products, e.g. coils and heavy plates, destined for China or South Africa. A total of 68 containers are transported by this rail service that runs once a week between Linz in Austria and Hamburg in Germany. After unloading the steel products at the Eurokombi terminal, the train is then re-loaded with ore for voestalpine's Steel Division at the bulk cargo terminal Hansaport, Hamburg’s port authority said.
