Under an new contract with Maersk Line, PKP Cargo Group transports the containers between Polish ports and the terminal in Warsaw, stores them, and delivers by truck to their place of destination. This is an extension of the current cooperation under which the PKP Cargo Group performs regular intermodal connections with the Polish ports on the west and south of Poland.
The PKP Cargo Group realizes a new service for Maersk Line in the “port to door” system. In practice, this is a combination of rail and road transport. The PKP Cargo Group picks up a container from the port, transports it by train to the terminal, and then reloads it to a car and at a specified time delivers it to the customer. A similar solution is applied in the opposite direction, from the customer to the port.
‘A new contract with Maersk Line goes beyond the transport of containers by rail. The customer orders from the PKP Cargo Group the organization of the entire transport from the port to the final destination at a specific time, not worrying about the details. To accomplish this task, we combine transport by rail and car. This is the direction in which the PKP Cargo Group will develop, ‘ Szymon Mikołajczak, Cargosped Board Member, responsible for the development of intermodal offer and obtaining new contracts said.
