A lack of commercial operators hinders the development of intermodal routes in the #Baltics, according to #Dutch logistics company Samskip. The company would like to create an extended rail link to rail for its new shortsea service to #Klaipeda, but the absence of commercially operated intermodal routes proves to be a major hindrance. However, the #EU-sponsored RB Rail AS | Rail Baltica could provide opportunities for intermodal development. #railfreight #railfreightnews #railcargonews

Tailwind Intermodal: new rail operator on the Koper-Graz route 🚆 On September 3, Tailwind Intermodal’s Panther Shuttle arrived in Graz, Austria. This marks Tailwind Intermodal’s debut on the Koper (Slovenia) – Graz (Austria) route. The Panther Shuttle offers freight forwarders and shipping companies five direct connections per week in each direction. “Thanks to its geographical location between the Adriatic and the Baltic, the Graz freight terminal, in conjunction with the port of Koper, forms an ideal connection to Eastern and Southeastern Europe. With the direct train connection between these strategically ideally located freight centers, we are establishing ourselves as an intermodal service provider for everyone who has containers transported between the Mediterranean and Eastern and Southeastern Europe,” explains Christian Steindl, Vice President of Tailwind Intermodal. As a sister company of TAILWIND Shipping Lines, which calls at the Adriatic port of Koper, Tailwind Intermodal is also responsible for container onward carriage to the hinterland and the return to Koper. Together the both companies enhance supply chains between China and Europa by combining sea freight and on-land freight. Tailwind Intermodal has big plans for the future; “For the course of the coming year, we plan to increase the frequency between Graz and Koper,” says Christian Steindl. #LidlInternational #TailwindIntermodal #SupplyChain #teamlidl
