EUROGATE Intermodal: Via Regensburg to Budapest

On 22 July 2010, EUROGATE Intermodal (EGIM) will launch a new rail connection from Hamburg via the Bavarian Port of Regensburg to the Budapest Free Port of Csepel (Hungary).

On the Hamburg–Regensburg–Budapest corridor, EGIM offers two departures per week with a transport capacity of 96 TEUs per freightliner train. The transit time is approximately 27 hours. Demand for transport services to and from Hungary has risen sharply over the past three years. In the first half of 2010, EGIM recorded growth of 30 percent in this segment. Today, Hungary is already the third most important shipping transport partner of the Port of Regensburg, which as a member of the bayernhafen Gruppe has developed into an international logistics hub for the exchange of goods between western and south-eastern Europe. The EGIM transport system based on freightliner trains is distinguished from other systems by its particularly high degree of reliability. In the bayernhafen Gruppe, EGIM has also gained a competent logistics partner, enabling it to offer its customers tailor-made transport solutions.

“The new Bavarian Port of Regensburg destination represents genuine added value for our rail freight services between the German seaports and Hungary. The Bavarian Port of Regensburg is a tri-modal location with optimum road, rail and inland waterway connections as well as 87 hectares of land available for settlement. That makes this location so attractive – also because with some 7 million tonnes of freight per year it has one of the highest handling volumes among the Danube ports,” says Lars Hedderich, managing director of EUROGATE Intermodal GmbH.
