Combined Cargo

There are currently 25 block trains from and to Verona, Basel, Hamburg and Wels are cleared weekly at the combined cargo terminal.

 

In addition, from Hamburg-Billwerder with a direct connection to Hamburg-Waltershof, there are also regular train connections to Duisburg, Frankfurt on the Main, Cologne, Ludwigshafen, Munich, Kornwestheim, Wuppertal and Ulm. The ferry and ro-ro lines of the Rostock seaport provide rapid connections in the Baltic Sea region.

Excellent conditions

The combined cargo terminal has a total area of approx. 70,000 mē and is situated at the base of Pier I. It has several different track groups and specialised stackers with a lifting capacity of 45 tonnes. The proximity of the terminal to the ferry and ro-ro berths provides short transit times through the port (e.g. train arrival at 2:45, loading at 6:00). Ideal conditions for the optimisation of the logistics chain are provided here at the Rostock seaport.

Increased cargo handling capacity

The capacity was increased to process three trains simultaneously since the beginning of 2006. Up to 85,000 units per year can be handled now. It is planned to expand the capacity to 120,000 units per year if required. Furthermore, the introduction of a high-efficiency IT system is to be carried out in order to support operational processes.
