ÖBB Rail Cargo Group (RCG) is now offering optimised transport solutions for maritime goods traffic between Austria and Italy on its comprehensive TransNET network. The port of Trieste is a major seaport in the upper Adriatic and is therefore of great importance for the whole of Europe. It is an important hub for European freight traffic and plays a pivotal role in transports to and from the Far East.
Rail Cargo Group has been running regular services between Trieste and Austrian terminals in both directions for years. A triangular connection has now been converted to two direct trains. This will allow RCG to accommodate the high volume of customers and partners at the Vienna South and Linz Stadthafen terminals and facilitate the handling of transports.
New: TransFER Vienna–Trieste and TransFER Linz–Trieste
The two new connections TransFER Vienna–Trieste and TransFER Linz–Trieste are now running two round trips each week with fixed schedules and attractive transit times between Austria and the Adriatic port. They provide faster turnaround times for FCLs (Full Container Load) and offer efficient connections on the RCG's intermodal network.
