Experts from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are working on a Rail Baltica rail infrastructure management model to simplify international transport after the launch of the high-speed railway. This will be an innovation in the European rail industry, where there is still no single mechanism for carriers to seamlessly organize trips across borders. The project involves Rail Baltic Estonia, Eiropas Dzelzceļa Līnijas (Latvia) and LTG Infra (Lithuania).

Kombiverkehr KG is increasing the capacity of its intermodal service between Germany and Italy with direct container trains between the port of Lübeck and Verona. The service has been reinstated and will serve the Baltic Rail Gate terminal in Lübeck and the Quadrante Europa terminal in Verona. Trains run twice a week in each direction: north-south on Thursdays and Sundays, south-north on Tuesdays and Fridays. There are also three connecting services per week via Hamburg. From Verona, connections are available to the southern regions of Italy, and from Lübeck to Sweden and Norway.

In 2024, Ukrzaliznytsia increased its container transportation volume by 28% compared to 2023, transporting 258,185 TEU. The bulk of cargo was exported – 162,725 TEU (63%), import accounted for 55,689 TEU (21.3%), domestic transportation amounted to 38,681 TEU (15%), and transit – 1,190 TEU (0.5%).

voestalpine Rohstoffbeschaffung GmbH, Logistik Service GmbH (LogServ) and Rail Cargo Group (RCG) have signed a new logistics cooperation agreement that will enable the transport of around 10 million tonnes of raw materials and finished products annually over the next three years. The contract was concluded at voestalpine’s Linz site.
