The Russian company has put in place the Silkway Amber, a container train that connects the Chinese Zhengzhou (Henan province) with Hamburg via the Kaliningrad Oblast.
The facility, set up by Krajowa Spółka Cukrowa (KSC) at the expense of about €23.2m, will take care of the company's sugar exports, estimated at over 300kt/year.
The Port of Gdynia and the Warsaw-based Centre for European Union Transport Projects have signed an agreement thanks to which the former will get approx. €4.6m (PLN 20m) for upgrading its Intermodal Rail Terminal.
The company has kicked off a new weekly service, operated with the use of two ships, that links the ports of Gdańsk, Hamburg, Aarhus, Oslo, Bergen, Tananger, and Ålesund.
After trialling the solutions developed by the Sea Traffic Management (STM) project on-board the ships of its Costa and Aida brands, the corporation's entire fleet is now using them.
The shipping line, part of CMA CGM, has received from the Chinese Guangzhou Wenchong Shipyard Containerships Polar, its second in a series of four 1,380 TEUs-big (incl. 360 reefer plugs) gas-run vessels.
