DB Schenker Rail transports Swedish paper to CEE

ScandFibre Logistics to ship annual volume of 500,000 tonnes of paper products with DB Schenker Rail
 
On behalf of the Swedish logistics company ScandFibre Logistics, DB Schenker has been handling shipments from ten Swedish paper mills to Germany, Austria and Eastern Europe since March 1. Seven trains are scheduled per week. This means around 12,000 railcars transporting 500,000 tonnes of paper from Sweden will be hauled by DB Schenker Scandinavia across the Öresund Bridge and back each year, with 120,000 tonnes of return loads for customers in other business sectors. In Sweden, the trains will be hauled by the Swedish rail freight carriers Green Cargo and Hector Rail.
 
This makes DB Schenker Rail one of the key service providers in the “Rail 11” rail-based logistics concept of ScandFibre Logistics. As a result of the new cooperation, railcar turnaround times have been reduced and shipments can be adjusted to fluctuations on the market at short notice. “Our re-started partnership with DB Schenker Rail on the European continent will increase the effectiveness of our Rail 11 logistics concept,” said Mats Erkén, Managing Director of SFL.
