Two major U.S. freight railroads are moving ahead with new intermodal infrastructure.
A new rail connection has been launched between PSA’s terminal in Zeebrugge and the Noordzee Terminal in Antwerp.
The project is aimed at increasing train-handling capacity and adapting the terminal infrastructure for future container crane operations.
New locomotive for construction logistics is added to the fleet at the time of Budimex handing over T3 Terminal at Baltic Hub in Gdansk.
This shift follows the award by Spanish infrastructure manager ADIF of a portion of the terminal to Rail Hub Morrot (RHM).
METRANS, the intermodal subsidiary of HHLA, is expanding its terminal footprint with the addition of the Batiovo Intermodal Terminal in western Ukraine.
METRANS has extended its offerings on the route between Turkish Istanbul and Slovak Dunajská Streda.
This new connection strengthens connectivity of major Polish ports with logistics area near Łódź.
PKP Group has indicated that it will continue to participate in similar initiatives across the Czech Republic and Poland.
The services operate six days a week, from Monday to Saturday, and were launched as part of an extension of the existing cooperation between the two companies.
The investment aligns with broader economic plans for Poland, specifically aimed at logistics infrastructure supporting Central and Eastern Europe, including transport links crucial to the reconstruction efforts in Ukraine.
Located in Entroncamento, Portugal, the terminal aims to support intermodal transport by connecting rail and road freight flows.

The company confirmed readiness to handle this type of traffic after concluding preparations at both facilities.
Until this transaction, the facilities were operated as joint ventures.
Both moves are part of the company’s effort to establish a broader presence in the northern Harz region through combined traction capability and infrastructure access.
