Buss Group launches Rail Terminal Sassnitz
Buss Group’s Rail Terminal Sassnitz organises transhipments of all kinds of goods on broad gauge wagons
The Hamburg-based Buss Group took over rail cargo throughput in broad gauge traffic at the DB Schenker Rail site in Sassnitz/Mukran. The operating company is Buss Rail Terminal Sassnitz GmbH, a 100% subsidiary of Buss Ports. The management lies in the hands of Michael Berger and Heinz J. Wasser, both are members of the Buss Ports management board. The core business of the Rail Terminal Sassnitz is professional transhipment of all kinds of goods to and from broad gauge wagons. There is also the option for handling of heavy lift cargo and oversize consignments. Three aisles with ramp handling from normal gauge to trucks or broad gauge (or vice versa) as well as a free crane facility for heavy cargo of up to 100 tons are available for this service. The strategy is to strengthen the location. Buss has been represented in the ferry port of Sassnitz since 2005 by Buss Sea Terminal Sassnitz GmbH, which is in charge of the major part of port logistics at this site. The focus lies on broad gauge railway ferries, which will link Sassnitz directly to the Russian port of Ust Luga near St. Petersburg and Baltijsk near Kaliningrad, as well as on the DFDS-connection to Klaipeda in Lithuania. Buss Ports has around 300 employees and operates multi-purpose terminals in Hamburg and more ports. At the terminals containers, project load, general and bulk cargo is handled. They are supported by a comprehensive range of port services such as stevedoring, strapping and securing, export packaging as wells as Container Freight Station (CFS). Quelle: LogEastics |
