In July this year, rail operator, Baltic Rail signed a letter of collaboration with Adia Transport and Luka Koper with regards to planned additional activities to help increase the amount of traffic volume on the route.<\/p>\n
Increasing the amount of trains is a first step towards realising this \u2013 and as the Port of Koper told Port Strategy<\/i>, there are huge benefits to doing this.<\/p>\n
Good, efficient and multiple rail connections are one of the most important competitive advantage of every port, especially for Koper, where the split between rail and road is currently 60:40, according to a port spokesman.<\/p>\n
Sebastjan \u0160ik, Port of Koper, told PS<\/i>: \u201cThe connection between Koper and Poland is further more important in building on our vision to become the main terminal operator for markets of central and eastern Europe. Doubling the train connection means that Koper could have a more relevant role on the Adriatic-Baltic axis.\u201d<\/p>\n
Koper is well placed strategically, its rapid growth over the last few years has been down to the fact that it\u2019s closer to the Far East saving sea transit time. Its ever improving links to ports in the Mediterannean Basin, Asia and the Far East make it really well placed for future growth.<\/p>\n
The soon to be increased Baltic Rail connection complements Baltic Rail\u2019s Adriatic service, which has been running twice a week since November 2011, from Koper to Katowice in Poland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
