DB Schenker customer shipments from all over Europe will reach Ukraine via the operator’s terminal near Krakow.
All goods from the portfolios of DB Schenker customers will be transported to Ukraine through the Lesser Poland region. The creation of the hub means an additional regular weekly connection to Ukraine for the terminal. Previously, shipments within the DB Schenker network were delivered to recipients in Ukraine directly from individual countries. Only a few countries consolidated their shipments. For example, shipments from DB Schenker customers in Bulgaria and Greece were reaching our eastern neighbor through Poland.
– Now all shipments will go to Krakow, and then through the terminal in Kyiv to the final recipients. The connections will gain in regularity, and every customer will receive information about the estimated delivery time – says Agata Kasprzyk, International LTL Process Management Manager at DB Schenker in Poland.
The hub in Krakow is not the first initiative of this type for DB Schenker. The logistics operator uses similar solutions in Europe. For example, shipments sent to countries such as Serbia, Macedonia, Moldova, and Montenegro are consolidated in Austria.
