The Italian multi-purpose terminal “Piattaforma Logistica Trieste” of Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA PLT Italy) is expanding its intermodal range. CMA CGM Group started a new weekly intermodal container service with a block train from Trieste to Central and Eastern Europe at the beginning of June. HHLA PLT Italy is thus once again underscoring the importance of Trieste as an Adriatic hub.
HHLA PLT Italy is intensifying its cooperation with the CMA CGM Group, a global player in sea, land, air and logistics solutions. In cooperation with its subsidiary CEVA Logistics, CMA CGM Group launched a new weekly intermodal service from the terminal in Trieste to Central and Eastern Europe. The first block train of the service was dispatched by HHLA PLT Italy on June 4th. This intermodal offer enables sustainable and efficient access to fast-growing markets in the heart of Europe.
