New Germany-Italy intermodal connection launches

Logistics company Ekol has started a new direct train connection between the ports of Kiel, Germany, and Trieste, Italy.

The news follows the company’s recent acquisition of a majority stake in Trieste’s multipurpose facility EMT Terminal.

The train connection, which is the first from the Port of Trieste to link the Baltic-Adriatic Corridor, will initially be operated once a week in both directions, with the train departing from Trieste every Wednesday and arriving at Kiel’s Schwedenkai the following day.
