Copenhagen-Aarhus container rail shuttle begins
APM Terminals' container facility in Aarhus, Denmark will soon have a new rail shuttle service connecting it to Copenhagen, the Danish capital.
The new service provides shippers a five-hour transit time, with up to three departures a week.
“At a time when shipping lines and the importer/exporter community are looking to save costs wherever possible, we feel this new service addresses the market needs,' said Jacob Flyvbjerg Christensen, director of APM Terminals Aarhus.
The port of Aarhus is Denmark’s main trade gateway, with dairy products, meat, foodstuffs and machinery the primary products moved.
Shipping lines calling the terminal include CMA-CGM, Mediterranean Shipping Co., Maersk Line, Eimskip and Hamburg S'd.
