Verona – Lübeck nonstop twice a week
The ÖBB’s Rail Cargo Group (RCG) is putting a bi-weekly non-stop connection between Verona (Italy) and Lübeck (Germany) on the rails. The new product now connects Northern Italy with the Hanseatic city and the entire region of Central and Eastern Europe. As the largest German Baltic Sea port, the port of Lübeck is a central transloading hub.
A major part of the shipments that are transported via Lübeck comes from Eastern Europe and Scandinavia or are destined for these markets. Ferry routes provide ideal connections to Lübeck. The environmentally friendly railways take about 6,144 truck journeys off the Brenner axis along this transit route, said the Austrian carrier. (ben)
