The Danish Transport Authority, Trafik-, Bygge- og Boligstyrelsen, allowed CFL Cargo and TX Logistik AG to transport semi-trailers on pocket wagons on the Danish rail network again.
On 14 January, the approval was granted after examining proof of documentation and processes, jointly filed by CFL Cargo and TX Logistik, for securing semi-trailers on pocket wagons.
As a result of the serious train accident on the Storebælt Bridge on 8 January, Trafik-, Bygge- og Boligstyrelsen banned all rail freight companies from transporting semi-trailers on pocket wagons on the Danish rail network for an initial 14 days. If railway companies can prove that they master safe loading onto pocket wagons, they can, according to the supervisory authority, obtain permission to carry out such transport earlier.
“The documents we submitted have convinced the regulator of the safety of our processes. We are very pleased to be allowed to drive again without restriction”, says Mirko Pahl, CEO of TX Logistik AG.
Traffic on the connection between Padborg and Verona has resumed meanwhile.
