CargoBeamer links Rostock and Kaldenkirchen
2022-10-11
With the help of its traction partner HSL Logistik, CargoBeamer offers six weekly round trips for craneable and non-craneable trailers as well as P400, refrigerated, silo, and container units by rail.
The service's transit time averages 18 hr.
CargoBeamer says the new route is carbon-neutral: per transported unit, 64% of CO2 emissions are saved compared to road transport, with the remaining 36% compensated with CO2 certificates.
"The addition of Kaldenkirchen-Rostock is the first step in our plans to expand CargoBeamers network with numerous new lines by the end of 2023. With unaccompanied long-distance transport from the Baltic Sea via western Germany to Italy or the French-Spanish border, we are creating a new, attractive offer for our customers. On the historically strong axis from the Iberian Peninsula via Central Europe to Scandinavia, this will provide a new opportunity to shift from road to rail, which will realize further CO2 savings," Boris Timm, CargoBeamer's COO, highlighted.
