Freightliner acquires ERS Railways

Both companies have been significant service providers to Maersk for more than 15 years, a relationship strengthened further by the long-term contract entered into between Maersk Line and ERS Railways as part of the acquisition.

Confirming the sale, Soren Toft, from Maersk Line said: “This new set-up provides us with the opportunity to continue our long term contractual relationship with both companies as well as to develop our key European markets”.

ERS Railways provides maritime hinterland services from key European ports, including Rotterdam, Hamburg, Bremerhaven, Lübeck and Rostock, as well as continental European rail services for intermodal operators and forwarders.
