Additional rail service between Antwerp and German hinterland
RAIL operator H&S Container Line is to offer a second round trip service between Antwerp and Germany's Ruhr in the Rhineland region.
The service will depart from two container terminals on the Duerganck dock in Antwerp to Andernach in Germany, the Port of Antwerp said.
H&S Container Line secured financial support from the Antwerp Port Authority, which launched its "Call for Proposals" last October to attract rail connectivity projects.
Several other projects have been submitted for approval, including rail services from Antwerp to Ludwigshaven, Wanne Eickel and Mannheim.
In 2015, a total of 64 million tonnes of freight was carried between Antwerp and Germany. While most freight arrives in Antwerp by water, road and rail transport is encouraged through the Call for Proposals.
