PSA Antwerp boosts rail links

Terminal operator PSA Antwerp and Antwerp-based rail terminal Combinant will establish an integrated service to optimise the connectivity between PSA’s deepsea terminals and Combinant Rail Terminal in the Port of Antwerp in order to facilitate a modal shift from road to rail at one of Europe’s most important boxports.

“As businesses increasingly seek fast, cost-effective, and sustainable transport options for their products between the deepsea port and the respective hinterlands, the shift from road to rail has become a valuable alternative,” PSA stated in a release.

The newly established trucking service will connect PSA’s two deepsea terminals on the right bank of the river Scheldt with the Combinant rail terminal in the north of the Port of Antwerp.
