First container train from Debrecen arrived at WienCont Terminal

New train service by Saigo Logistic Kft. to simplify cargo transport between the port of Vienna and the economic region of eastern Hungary

WienCont, a company of the port of Vienna operating the container terminal there, has receipt the first container train from Debrecen, the second largest city in Hungary, on 28 May. With immediate effect the train operated by Saigo Logistic Kft. will connect eastern Hungary to the port of Vienna twice weekly, thus facilitating cargo traffic between the two cities in the future. Saigo is a subsidiary company of the Xanga Group, a purely private enterprise implementing infrastructure development in eastern Hungary. The port of Vienna is a subsidiary of Wien Holding.

The new connection will be equally beneficial for the port of Vienna and Saigo. It enables the port of Vienna to develop Hungary – the eastern part of the country to the border with Romania in particular – for its customers. Moreover WienCont will be able to offer an additional connection via the Budapest Container Terminal (TCZ Törökbalint) to the  Adriatic seaport of Koper.

Xanga Group is now able to transport its cargo shipments with the block trains of WienCont, particularly towards the North Sea ports. The core activity of the Xanga Group is to develop industrial and service units equipped with modern infrastructure, suitable for the receipt of high standard technology transfer, this way enabling local and foreign production and service enterprises to launch their activities in the city of Debrecen and its region.

The group offers tailor-made solutions to its partners. It develops industrial building plots equipped with all public utilities, suitable for greenfield investments. Xanga either directly sells the building plots or implements its own greenfield investments on them.

In addition to providing turnkey infrastructure, Xanga assists the successful operation of its partners by providing them with business development, legal, financial and subsidy management services. Also, Xanga has had majority shares in the Debrecen Airport since 2011, and it’s currently operating the airport.

In addition to passenger transport, regular cargo services are available, thanks to the Cargo and Logistic Base currently being developed by the Xanga Group.

WienCont is the operator of the trimodal container terminal in the port of Vienna. The company is also involved in container trade and container repair, and offers customs handling and trucking services at its location in the port of Vienna.
