In the first week of December, a regular rail connection from Kutno to Moscow will launch, which will ensure smooth handling of container flows heading to the Russian capital from ports in Rotterdam, Hamburg, and Bremerhaven, from the sea terminals of Gdańsk and Gdynia, and from the main industrial regions of Central and Eastern Europe (Ruhr area, Berlin region, Upper and Lower Silesia, central Poland).
– An intermodal connection between Europe and Russia, based on a regularly running train, is a natural step in the company’s development and another stage in building a network of regular intermodal connections in our region of Europe. In accordance with our adopted development strategy, we are utilizing the opportunities provided on one hand by our country’s excellent location on the map of Europe, and on the other by the newly opened hub in central Poland – the Kutno Terminal. Thanks to our investments and determination, intermodal transport is gaining momentum – says Dariusz Stefański, CEO of PCC Intermodal S.A.
The journey on the Rotterdam – Moscow and Hamburg/Bremerhaven – Moscow routes will take less than a week. Cargo destined for Moscow will arrive at the Kutno Terminal on Thursday and will be in Moscow by Monday morning. In total, in line with the intermodal concept, the cargo will travel over 2,500 kilometers by train. Containers are delivered directly to customers’ doors by road transport. The company guarantees special freight rates until the end of the year.
