PSA Antwerp and Combinant Rail Terminal have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to establish an integrated logistics service aimed at optimising the connection between PSA’s deepwater terminals and Combinant’s rail terminal in the Port of Antwerp. The project will reduce the use of road transport in favour of rail transport, improving intermodal solutions and increasing the sustainability of transport between the port and hinterland. The new service will connect PSA’s terminals with Combinant’s terminal, which in turn will provide access to important logistics hubs in Europe via a rail connection to Duisburg.

On November 24, Azerbaijan and China celebrated a historic moment: for the first time, an export cargo was sent from Baku to China by rail. This event marks a new stage in the development of economic and transport ties between the countries, emphasizing the strategic importance of Azerbaijan in international transportation. In addition to the transit and import of goods from China through the Middle Corridor, sending export cargo from Azerbaijan to China significantly increases the efficiency of this route. The rapid development of the Middle Corridor contributes to the increase in cargo transportation volumes both to the east and to the west.

In Estonia, work continues to refine the route of Rail Baltica, the largest railway project in the region.

Although there was less interest from citizens, experts believe that this is due to the fact that most questions had already been answered in previous stages.
