On September 15, the grand opening of the facility will take place, which will contribute to increasing the competitiveness of the Lower Silesian transport system.
Schavemaker Invest Sp. z o.o. is implementing a project entitled “Construction of a publicly accessible, intermodal Container Terminal with infrastructure in Kąty Wrocławskie,” under the Infrastructure and Environment Operational Programme 2007-2013, priority VII: Environment-friendly transport, measure 7.4 Development of intermodal transport.
The goal of the project is to increase the share of intermodal transport in total freight transport in Poland by filling a market niche in the domestic market caused by the lack of professional and publicly accessible container terminals in the western part of the country, as well as strengthening the current market position of Schavemaker Invest.
As part of the project, an investment has been completed that will have a significant impact on increasing the competitiveness of the Lower Silesian transport system. A facility has been built that will significantly contribute to increasing the share of intermodal transport in total freight transport and to the development of environment-friendly transport. The primary goal of the project is to encourage manufacturing companies and freight forwarders to choose rail transport services more often. It is projected that, in the long term, the project will lead to a shift of a significant amount of cargo transported through the Lower Silesian Voivodeship from road to rail. This will consequently contribute to reducing environmental pollution caused by road traffic, increasing road safety by reducing accident rates, and minimizing the degradation of roads.
In connection with the completion of the investment works, on September 15, 2015, a grand opening ceremony of the Container Terminal will take place in Kąty Wrocławskie at ul. Fabryczna 1. The program of the ceremony includes, among others, a ceremonial ribbon-cutting, a press conference, and a presentation of the results of the completed investment and the current transshipment capabilities of the Terminal.
