Transfennica Logistics has initiated a new rail service connecting Antwerp to Hendaye (Irun).

 

The subsidiary of the Dutch shipping company, Transfennica Logistics has initiated a new rail service connecting Antwerp to Hendaye (Irun). More precisely, it held its first service on the 8thof September, linking the Antwerp IFB Zomerweg terminals to the RSM terminal, in Hendaye.

 

The company reports that last Friday, September 11th, this train has left Hendaye with Antwerp as destination. Transfennica Logístics explained that, with such a weekly rotation with a transit time of less than 24 hours, the group has created both a short distance maritime service and "a new concept with faster and more frequent multimodal connections from the Benelux to Spain and vice versa".

 

The company believes that "by using local terminals and with a quick and efficient availability to easily handle on board cargo, plus the wide range of existing partners, Transfennica Logistics will ensure a fast delivery at destination". Bearing this in mind the group declared that such a service, combined with the existing network of maritime shipping lines, "Transfennica Logistics will also provide solutions to Finland, UK, Baltics and Russia”.
