Four for Rostock
A coalition of four partners – Stena Line, Lkw Walter, Rostock Port, CFL Multimodal – is launching a new rail connection between the Bettembourg-Dudelange intermodal terminal and the RTM terminal in the port of Rostock on 11 January 2021.
The new intermodal connection will offer three round-trips a week and transport craneable and non-craneable trailers as well as containers. The partners see this connection of existing rail corridors (Lyon, Le Boulou) via Luxembourg to the port of Rostock with its ferry lines to Trelleborg as another step towards building a comprehensive European combined rail and ferry solution network.
This new train will also empower the modal shift, as it will transfer the equivalent of 10,000 trucks from the roads to the railways and make CO2 savings of about 18,000 t a year. (cd)
