Direct link from Belgium to Turkey via Romania


H.Essers and Rail Cargo Austria have joined forces to launch a new and direct rail link between Romania and Turkey. The cargo rail connection had been in the pipeline for some time, but the roll-out has now been accelerated due to the Covid-19 crisis.

 

H.Essers already operates a connection between Genk (Belgium) and Curtici (Romania), which now enables a direct rail link between Genk and Turkey. In practice, a train will depart eight times a week from Genk to Curtici, and then three times a week a train will travel from Curtici to Istanbul.

 

The full lead time from terminal to terminal is therefore less than six days. The rail link can be used for a wide range of (hazardous) goods. (ben)
