The train departs from Zamość, stops at Sosnowiec for reloading and reaches Oss, an important logistics hub, before returning.
A Polish railway company, Laude Smart Intermodal SA, has launched a regular intermodal service that enables direct transport from Ukraine and Poland to the Netherlands. According to the company, the service was launched to meet the growing demand for freight transport from Belgium, the Netherlands and western Germany to southern Poland and on to Ukraine. The train is departing from Zamość on Sunday. After arriving and reloading in Sosnowiec on Tuesday, it will continue to Oss, where it will arrive on Thursday. The train is set off on its return journey on the Friday.
The train’s route to Oss was planned to use the loading and unloading capacity of both the Zamość terminal, which plays a key role in exporting and importing goods from Ukraine, and Sosnowiec, which has long handled shipments of slabs from Germany and steel coils and bars to the Netherlands and Belgium. It also receives containerized loads of fertilizer from the ports.
The Oss region offers access to northeast Brabant, parts of Gelderland, northern Limburg and Nordrhein-Westfalen. The region is accessible by road and rail. With a large inland port, the region is also easy to reach by inland waterways.
