AWT, a member of the PKP Cargo group, has signed a grant agreement with the Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA) for modernizing the Paskov terminal.
CEF (Connecting Europe Facility) was used to support the preparation and construction of phase III of the multimodal container terminal in Paskov, of which AWT contributed 5,871,360 EUR. This amount represents 66% of the eligible costs of the project, which in addition to new rail links, handling areas, lighting and other equipment at the terminal, also includes the study, project and reconstruction of siding in Paskov.
“The goal of the project is to maximize the use of the 700 m long rail yard, allowing us to offer a new standard of shipping and handling for our customers while saving costs on siding operations,” saidViktor Bystrian, the sales manager of AWT.
The construction and technological completion phase follows for the thoroughly modernized Paskov terminal. By the end of 2020, a new rail link should be built, the siding station reconstructed, and the depot expanded to more than double its size, with the shipping and handling areas encompassing 71,000 m2 and the transport output growing to nearly 5,000 TEUs. The modifications carried out will speed up transit through stations on branches running to the terminal.
The Paskov terminal currently covers 31,000 m2 and has a capacity of 2,400 TEUs with 3 x 270 m tracks.
