European Gateway Services: Direct train service Rotterdam – Austria

Train service between Austria and Rotterdam as alternative for transport via the Northern German ports; traction lies in the hands of RCA and TX Logistik

As of now, European Gateway Services provides a direct train service between Rotterdam and Austria four times a week. Shipping companies, logistics service providers and shippers will thus have an alternative for their export and import streams via the Northern German ports through this Austria-Rotterdam shuttle.

The Austria – Rotterdam shuttle connects all the big container terminals in Rotterdam twice a week with Vienna, while twice a week the Austrian city of Enns will be the hub. All connections can provide further connections to Linz, Graz and further locations. Everywhere in Upper Austria, Lower Austria and Styria European Gateway Services provides services up to the front door.

Austria is a new destination in the growing network of European Gateway Services, which already has a lot of connections within the Netherlands and to Belgium, Germany, France and Switzerland. In Austria, Roland Spedition acts as the local agent for bookings and transport to and from destinations. The train is suitable for both maritime as well as container cargo. Rail Cargo Austria and TX Logistik provide traction.

Mark van Andel, director of European Gateway Services: “For many shipping companies, Rotterdam is the first European port of call. With the Austria – Rotterdam shuttle of European Gateway Services, import cargo will always arrive faster in Austria than through other Northwest European ports.”

European Gateway Services covers a wide network of inland terminals, serving as extended gates of ECT Deepsea-Terminals in the seaport of Rotterdam. To gurarantee high frequent connections they use cargo trains and barges in this network. European Gateway Services is a subsidiary of Europe Container Terminals, a container terminal operator based in Rotterdam.
