Turkey
North Sea-Baltic corridor
The distance between the Netherlands and Turkey by road is over 2,500 km. An intermodal transport solution to Turkey via rail is not only more sustainable but also often more efficient and reliable. Intermodal transport to and from Turkey is possible via three different routes:
Duisburg / Cologne – Trieste – Istanbul
Rotterdam – Vienna – Istanbul
Genk – Curtici – Istanbul
Full Train Loads (block trains)
Do you have bulk cargo to transport to or from Turkey? Then rail transport is a suitable transport solution. A Full Train Load (block train) offers capacity for approximately 1,500 – 2,000 tons of cargo.
Intermodal transport
Multiple trains commute weekly between the Benelux and Turkey. Logistics service providers with access to intermodal loading units can easily book with various rail operators.
Intermodal transport (door-to-door)
Various logistics service providers offer door-to-door services to and from Turkey via rail. This includes the loading unit (container, swap body, or craneable trailer) as well as pre- and post-transport.
