From Bettembourg or from Lübeck the intermodal units can be forwarded seamlessly:
- by sea to Finnland, Norway, Sweden, Poland and Russia
- by rail to Antwerp (B), Le Boulou (F)and Hendaye (F)
The transit time between Northern and Southern Europe will be radically shortened:
Example:
- Lübeck to Le Boulou 42 Hrs.
- Helsinki to Le Boulou 70 Hrs.
- Le Boulou to Malmö 56 Hrs.
The 650m long trains will carry 34 unaccompanied P400 semi-trailers, containers and/or swap bodies. CFL cargo will haul the trains in close cooperation with Nordic Rail Service, within the port of Lübeck. In Bettembourg, Terminaux Intermodaux de Bettembourg, a subsidiary of CFL multimodal, will handle the units, while Baltic Rail Gate will load and unload them in Lübeck. Pre- and post road haulage services will be provided by CFL multimodal.
CFL multimodal will manage and monitor the production and quality of services. Sales and customer service will be handled in close partnership with European Cargo Logistics, a subsidiary of Port of Lübeck. Bookings can be made via (booking@cfl-mm.lu) or via CFL multimodal’s Customer Service.
We are pleased to provide our customers with this new train connection, beside the existing Verona shuttle, a further possibility to carry their goods in a trouble-free, eco-friendly, cost-efficient and well-known prime quality way.
