Railway transportation as one major factor of success Railway connections to more than 40 destinations across Europe More than 76 train departures per week Intermodal terminal capacity of ca. 150,000 units p.a. Modal split of ca. 15 % on rail Dedicated railway infra- and suprastructure (65 km incl. marshalling- / shunting yards) Electrified double rail track from/to Hamburg 29.01.2015 8
How do we prepare our terminal facilities? Intermodal terminal expansion extension of tracks by 100 m for 6 full length block trains (> 700 m each) 16 ha port extension area construction of a 2nd module 16 ha industrial / commercial zone 29.01.2015 9
Optimising of bottlenecks What else has to be done?
