Train service operator, TX Logistik, will introduce the new train service in January 2023, with five departures each week between Stockholm Norvik Port and the Eskilstuna Intermodal Terminal. <\/p>\n
\u201cExpanding our operations improves the preconditions for transport to and from Stockholm, both for existing and for newly established companies in Eskilstuna and its surrounding area. It also demonstrates that railway transport is the solution for safe and environmentally friendly logistics,\u201d said Fredrik Abrahamsson, sales manager at TX Logistik AB.<\/p>\n
Short approach<\/strong><\/p>\n Stockholm Norvik Port has an infrastructure to meet market demands for increased frequency and capacity on the rail network. A 4,400 metre-long industrial railway branch line links Stockholm Norvik to Sweden\u2019s national railway network.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is really pleasing that our good collaboration has resulted in this new train service to Stockholm Norvik. Now we can offer both our container customers and our RoRo customers a transport solution that is both sustainable and cost-efficient. With this new train solution at the port, we have a first-class railway service,\u201d states Nicklas Ebersson, marketing manager cargo at Ports of Stockholm.<\/p>\n Starting in April, the Nordic railway company Cargonet, which operates goods trains in Sweden and Norway, will add services from the Eskilstuna Intermodal Terminal that will enable direct transport links to Oslo and the entire Nordic market.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have seen a growing demand from customers for train transport between Norway and the Greater Stockholm area. There is currently a high flow of goods between the two regions, but the majority of the cargo is transported by road. With this new train link we can offer customers a wider range of sustainable transport solutions, providing much faster connections to Finland, the Baltic States and Norway,\u201d said Carl Fredrik Karlsen, Cargonet commercial director.<\/p>\n Stockholm Norvik Port opened in 2020 and is run by Hutchison Ports, one of the world\u2019s largest container terminal operators, with 53 ports in 27 countries. The RoRo terminal is operated by Ports of Stockholm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A new\u00a0railway link will connect Stockholm Norvik to a larger railway network, offering customers more sustainable and cost-effective transport solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":2922,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[815,164,192,814,816],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-2921","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-europe-greenport","tag-intermodal","tag-ports-of-stockholm","tag-rail","tag-sweden","tag-tx-logistik"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2921","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2921"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2921\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2923,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2921\/revisions\/2923"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2921"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2921"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2921"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=2921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
