BCT to push combined transport


In Poland, the Baltic Container Terminal (BCT) in Gdynia has joined the EU-backed ‘Comodalce’ project, which fosters further railway solutions. BCT has taken measures that have lifted its intermodal rail traffic to around 30% of its annual container throughput.

The terminal currently processes 250 intermodal trains every month, operated by 13 intermodal operators. Its market reach through the railways includes all major destinations in Poland and extends along the increasingly important trans-European Baltic–Adriatic Corridor (corridor VI). It runs from Gdynia via southern Poland (Upper Silesia), Vienna, Bratislava and the eastern Alpine region through to northern Italy, and serves diverse industrial centres en route.

The name ‘Comodalce’ is an abbreviation of the project’s principal objective, namely to enhance ‘COordination in multiMODAL freight transport in Central Europe.’ (cd)
