GreenBridge adds fourth weekly train connecting Turkey and Europe

GreenBridge, the multimodal brand redefining freight services between Turkey and Europe, has introduced a fourth weekly regular roundtrip train connecting the Duisburg rail hub and the port of Trieste. The service offers major advantages over conventional road transport that include faster transit, elimination of border delays and traffic jams/road taxation, better security and lower fuel costs.

GreenBridge is a joint initiative of European multimodal solutions provider Samskip Multimodal B.V. and Intercombi (ICL) Transport, a subsidiary of the leading logistics company Turkey Netlog Logistics Group. The combined transport service reaches destinations across Europe via the Samskip Rail Terminal, Duisburg, with Trieste connected to Turkey via six weekly sailings offered by UN RO-RO.

Adding a fourth regular train to the Duisburg-Trieste land-bridge reflects new customer commitments to the multimodal solution, says Marcel Delmee, GreenBridge Manager Multimodal Services, Turkey Trade. “The frequency increase indicates the principles behind GreenBridge, which combines the benefits of Samskip’s European multimodal network and Intercombi’s in-depth industry expertise in the Turkish market,” he says.

Each GreenBridge train connecting Duisburg and Trieste has capacity for 34 unit loads, with the partners offering a range of unitised equipment, including containers of up to 45ft length and 13.6m length mega trailers.
