Ermewa has established its first successful partnership with LTG Cargo Polska for the lease of 40 container wagons which were handed over in Poprad, Slovakia. All the new Sgmmnss wagons were manufactured at the Tratravagonka plant in Poprad.
LTG Cargo will use the 40-foot wagons mainly in Northern Europe on the route from Lithuania via Gdansk in Poland to Duisburg in Western Germany. This collaboration serves as a valuable addition to LTG Cargo’s existing fleet.
“We are excited to start this partnership with Ermewa, as it allows us to further strengthen our intermodal capabilities and cater to the growing demands of our customers. The addition of these 40 container wagons from Ermewa enhances our operational efficiency and enables us to increase the volume of our freight transport services across multiple destinations,” Michał Szlendak, CEO of LTG Cargo Polska said.
Starting this month, the rail operator is providing regular intermodal cargo transport trips on the route Kaunas – Slawkow. Until now, cargo was transported to the terminal in Poland only at the request of customers, in just six months the company managed to provide services with a frequency of twice a week.
Furthermore, in order to strengthen railway connections with Poland, customers will be able to transport cargo to the Pruszkow terminal located right outside Warsaw – from now on, trains on the Kaunas-Slawkow route will run with an intermediate stop near the Polish capital.
The company LTG Cargo is operator of intermodal cargo transport both on the territory of Lithuania and Poland. One train trip will be able to transport up to 42 containers and 90 TEU of cargo.
Located near Katowice, the Slawkow terminal is an important Polish broad-gauge junction where the railway lines between Lithuania and Poland as well as Ukraine and Poland connect. From this terminal, freight trains also run regularly to Schwarzheide in Germany, Madaloni in Italy, the port of Koper in Slovenia and the port of Gdańsk in Poland.
