The Lund-based First Row Shipping & Logistics has kicked off a container rail service that connects Umeå's brand-new rail terminal with APM Terminals Gothenburg.
The container carrier major, previously offering rail services over the northern part of the New Silk Road, has connected China and the EU via Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Georgia.
The Danish shipping & logistics company has acquired the 2019-founded German, Troisdorf/Cologne-based primeRail, thus establishing the new Rail business unit.
With the help of the Swedish Transport Administration, the Swedish arm of TX Logistik has tested an 838 m long train across a 500 km stretch between Malmö and Frövi.
