Aims to make container traffic between the economic regions in the Baltic States and Scandinavia effective

DB Schenker and TransContainer, the freight subsidiary of the Russian railways, RZD, are planning a joint container hub at the DB Schenker Logistics Park in the Latvian capital, Riga.

The new transshipment center aims to make container traffic between the economic regions in the Baltic States and Scandinavia such as Russia, central Europe and the central Asian states more effective. Both partners hope to offer their customers multimodal international transportation services through Riga and thus gradually shift more containers to rail in a targeted fashion.
