The construction of a multimodal terminal in the suburbs of Belgrade, occupying 82 hectares between the Batajnica railway station and the E75 highway, is being completed. This terminal is equipped with two railway tracks, automobile access roads, a container area, an administrative building and other services. It will become the starting point for the delivery of containers from various cities in Serbia and European centers, which will be transported by road to recipients within a radius of about 100 km.

Rhenus Office Systems expands its footprint in Poland with the inauguration of a new facility in Lower Silesia, marking a strategic move in its growth trajectory. The site will serve as a hub for the secure destruction of confidential documents and data, aligning with the company’s commitment to data protection and customer convenience.
Arthur Nitsevych, Partner at the law firm Interlegal, spoke to the audience virtually along with his colleague Karyna Gorovaya, Associate Partner of the company. Although the guys were unable to meet in person this time, they expressed hope for a live meeting next year.
Stanislav Kovaljov, Head of Cargo Insurance at Marine Insurance Services, shared the idea that in modern logistics all participants in the transportation chain should have liability insurance. Stanislav explained it this way: “In the case when the cargo owner has insured his cargo, you must understand, as forwarders, as carriers, that a recourse may come to you in this regard if something happens to the cargo. It is not worth deferring this responsibility to the contractor and relying on his insurance, since the forwarder will still face problems if he does not have his own coverage. Cargo insurance can be organized by the cargo owner independently or offered by the forwarder to its clients, ensuring the convenience of their cooperation.”
Veselin Rubcev, General Manager of Donaustar, said that the company was founded in 1995 and specializes in the transportation of oversized and heavy cargo. Starting from 150 tons, they gradually increased the lifting capacity to 600 tons using RoRo and conventional LoLo vessels. We cover routes from Western Europe to the Black Sea, reaching the ports of Constanta, Varna and Burgas, and also have offices in Passau, Germany, and in Russia.
