Ports to have new rail links to Europe's hubs


In December, the German freight carrier DB Cargo will launch new daily connections linking Europe's two largest ports in Rotterdam (The Netherlands) and Antwerp (Belgium) with the most important economic hubs in Germany.

 

From next year, the transport volume on these connections is due to grow by around 100,000 containers per year. DB Cargo and its subsidiary TFG Transfracht are putting more goods on the rails, with daily connections to all important terminals at the ports.

 

Cargo volumes are transported from the ports and bundled at Netherland’s largest shunting yard Kijfhoek. From here, the cargo is taken to its destination overnight by fast direct trains. These new departures from the western ports will take 70,000 lorries off the roads, DB Cargo said. (ben)
