The company is acknowledging the growing importance of the Adriatic port as a gateway to this part of Europe.
CMA CGM Group started a new weekly intermodal service from Trieste to Central and Eastern Europe this week with its subsidiary CEVA Logistics. The first train departed on 4 June from the terminal HHLA PLT Italy.
