U.N. Ro-Ro: New Antwerp connection via Wels
U.N. Ro-Ro, a company offering intermodal transportation services for Ro-Ro lines between Turkey and Europe, continues to expand its connections and destinations.

All types of semi-trailers and 40/45 dc containers, tank containers will be accepted for transport on this line.
