The Lithuanian rail freight haulier is trialling the feasibility of connecting the country with northern Italy via Duisburg.

The test run saw trailers sent from Kaunas to Cervignano near Trieste through the German dry port.

Once regular, the service will run twice a week.

The trial comes about two months after the Italian and Lithuanian transport ministries signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at rail connecting the two nations.
