Rail transport

Rail transport services. Get your cargo on track.

Offering a wide range of global solutions through multimodal transport options provides rail service on various  continents, including transport between Europe and Asia.

If your shipment has a flexible timeline, intermodal shipping is often ideal for inexpensive, bulk, palletized, heavy and/or oddly shaped cargo with longer lead times.

Consider distribution by train with last-mile delivery and these benefits: Reduced carbon footprint, lower fuel expenses, and decreased transportation costs vs.  airfreight.

Preparation is key

The key to success is thorough preparation. We are completely familiar with every aspect and take care of route surveys, transport engineering, permits & documents, transport supervision, operating manuals and project management.

Ideal rail cargo transportation circumstances

For the most economical delivery option – Railway transport is reliable because it’s the least affected transportation mode as far as weather conditions and traffic are concerned. Railway track transport ensures less congestion and obstruction, minimising the risk of delays due to external factors. Your cargo will be in constant motion until they reach their final destination.

For transporting heavy loads – Rail freight transport does not impose limitations on the carryable load, making it the most economical and quick solution to deliver bulky and heavy goods over long distances. Rail freight is also the ideal transport mode for shipping natural resources, agricultural products, chemical products and metals.

For safer transportation – Railway is a safe form of transport as the chances of breakdowns and accidents are minimal compared to other modes. Moreover, the goods are protected from exposure to sun, snow, rain and other weather conditions.
