Metrans, the rail subsidiary of Hamburger Hafen und Logistik (HHLA), is the first company to serve the Halkali terminal in Istanbul. Since the beginning of 2016, Metrans has been covering the route between its own hub terminal in Dunajska Streda, Slovakia, and the Halkali terminal in Istanbul, three times a week. It is the first rail company to serve rail transport to the Turkish terminal.
The Halkali terminal is within the city of Istanbul, making it a considerably more conventient option than the terminal in Cerkezkoy, which Metrans had previously called at. According to preliminary, as yet unaudited figures, HHLA’s railway companies transported approximately 1.0 million TEU in 2015. This represents an increase in the transport volume of more than five percent on the previous year’s figure.
