European Gateway Services (EGS) recently informed that the Rotterdam– Nuremberg rail shuttle has been completed and is already calling at all the deepsea terminals, in Maasvlakte (1 & 2). Specifically, EGS offers rail connection among Rotterdam and Nuremberg in the state of Bavaria and conversely, three times per week.
Following the success of the rail connection and the growing number of requests, from 1st of February, Rotterdam World Gateway (RWG) will also be directly served. Meaning that all the terminals at the Maasvlakte – ECT Delta (with a connection to APMT-R), ECT Euromax, APM2 and RWG are directly served, while there is a decreased need for shunting.
For the records, EGS further provides a rail link between Rotterdam and Munich, serving ECT Delta (with a connection to APMT-R), ECT Euromax and RSC Waalhaven, for three times on a week.
This makes the connection between Rotterdam and Bavaria increasingly more comprehensive. By providing direct trucking options and offering the possibility of pre-delivery and post-delivery of containers in the hinterland, EGS is thus creating an ideal one-stop-shop.
…European Gateway Services noted.
Moreover, the connections through Rotterdam boost both importers and exporters since cargo is being available sooner in the case of import or can be supplied later in the case of export.
Overall, Rotterdam announced that along with 17 collaborators inked a declaration of intent to allow transport by water, road and train through the Rhine-Alpine corridor, based on hydrogen.
