Loconi and Baltic Rail, with the support of the Port of Koper and the Baltic Container Terminal Gdynia, have combined their services to offer a single ticket rail route between the ports of Gdynia and Koper.

Loconi operates a service between Gdynia and Wrocław in southwestern Poland (five weekly runs), while Baltic Rail - between Wrocław and Koper (three-to-five/week).

The two have joined their offer, including train transloading, with the second journey optimised to ensure cut-off for the target sailing.

According to the Port of Koper, thanks to the new service going from, e.g., Oslo to Haifa should take about 14 days compared to 30 for an all-sea service.

"With many ocean, port and logistics services stretched to capacity during these challenging times, moving containers around the world nowadays demands patience, creativity and sharp execution – even more than before. So, if you are looking for a new alternative, one idea is to combine solutions that already exist in the market and have the necessary assets and service offerings in place with timetables at key terminals," the Slovenian port wrote in a press release.
