The ÖBB Rail Cargo Group (RCG) is expanding its extensive TransNET network and is now offering fast, reliable transport solutions between Hungary and the northern Adriatic. The port at Rijeka (Croatia) is an important transloading point for Southern, Central and Southeastern Europe. The new TransFER Budapest–Rijeka means RCG has created a direct network connection without stops for its customers, alongside several block train solutions, for maritime flows of goods between Budapest and Rijeka. The new connection is efficient and reliable, with a fixed scheduled timetable and attractive transit times.
Two round trips per week
The TransFER is particularly suitable for 20 and 40 foot containers. It takes two round trips per week between the BILK terminal in Budapest and the terminal in the port of Rijeka. From the BILK terminal, there are antenna connections to other destinations in Western Europe such as Neuss, Vienna, Wels or Ludwigshafen.
Closer to customers
RCG opened its own office in the port of Rijeka at the beginning of the year. The quantities of container transports both to and from the port of Rijeka have increased considerably. With an own office on site, these can be processed quicker from a single source. The site in Rijeka provides customers with port agency services for both imports and exports, customs clearance for imports, exports and transit registration, port operations and disposition, truck transport to and from Rijeka, preparation of consignment notes (CIM, CMR) as well as other services available on request.
