PORT operator Hamburger Hafen und Logistik's (HHLA) intermodal unit Metrans is building another rail terminal in Hungary to expand its transport services along the Adriatic Corridor and towards Southern and South-Eastern Europe, announced the company.
The terminal will be built in Zalaegerszeg, which is located on the transport axis to the Adriatic ports of Trieste, Koper, and Rijeka.
"We are investing in Hungary because we see significant potential there for the rail transportation of the future. The Adriatic Corridor is developing into an extremely important European transport axis. That is why we also recently acquired a port terminal in the Italian city of Trieste," said HHLA chairwoman, Angela Titzrath.
"And Hungary, with its location at the heart of Europe, is of key significance to the expansion of the Metrans network towards Southern and South-Eastern Europe as well. I would like to thank the Hungarian ministries and the relevant authorities in the region for the good cooperation," said Ms Titzrath.
Metrans Group chairman Peter Kiss announced investments of over US$48.67 million to construct and equip the new terminal.
"This major financial investment demonstrates how important Hungary is to the further development of Metrans. We want to grow in Hungary and with the Hungarian people. The planned terminal will help to give the country a further boost towards becoming one of the most efficient logistical hubs in Europe," said Mr Kiss.
