ICTSI Croatia opens intermodal service for wood exports
AN intermodal service has been launched at the Croatian port of Rijeka to connect the Adriatic Gate Container Terminal (AGCT) via rail to one of the country's largest wood producers.
AGCT, a part of International Container Terminal Services Inc (ICTSI), partnered with Cedar Ltd and AGIT to facilitate the export of beech wood products from Cedar's production facility in Vrbovsko.
Cedar, a manufacturer and supplier of beech wood products, inaugurated an intermodal facility directly linking AGCT via rail. Freight solutions provider AGIT of HZ Cargo Group transports the bulk of Cedar's wood exports. From Rijeka port, the products are exported to North Africa, the Middle East, India and Asia via sea.
In 2012 Cedar acquired an 180,000-square metre old saw mill in Vrbovsko. The town sits along the transit lines halfway between Zagreb and Rijeka with good road and rail access. Cedar's Vrbovsko facility has become one of the largest and most modern beech wood manufacturing facilities in Europe.
"Part of the project was to build an intermodal container yard on our land connected to the Vrbovsko railway tracks and purchase container handling equipment such as reach stackers and automated container stuffing machines. The new and direct intermodal link with AGCT via rail enables sustainable and cost-effective logistics,?said Cedar director, Darko Prodan.
