CTL Logistics is entering intermodal market
Polish rail operator expands portfolio Intermodal operators present on the Polish market have a new competitor. Polish independent rail operator, CTL Logistics, up till now, has only been a carrier, transporting containers for other operators. CTL representatives announced intensive concentration on building its connections network and transportation of containers on international routes. In the first stage of the strategy, CTL plans launching trains from Hamburg and Bremerhaven to partners’ terminals in Warsaw, Sosnowiec, Katy Wroclawskie and to CTL’s own terminal in Piotrkow Trybunalski. Subsequently, domestic connections from Gdansk/Gdynia ports and international connections from ARA ports shall be launched. Last step shall bring starting-up of intermodal transportation through Poland’s eastern boarder. These connections will be based on CTL’s own terminals in Piotrkow Trybunalski and Bruzgi. As CTL’s representatives point out, the Company already gained experience in accomplishing such projects, but role of intermodal operator mainly based on collecting orders straight from the clients is new to them. Apart from transporting of containers by rail, CTL shall offer terminal service in partner and owned terminals, delivery of a container to the client and custom service. Quelle: Martis Consulting |
