Metrans expands its network in Poland and Turkey

Metrans has launched new rail freight services that will expand its network from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea. The services will respectively connect Turkey with Slovakia and Poland with the Czech Republic. The Turkey – Slovakia service is Metrans’ first southbound train from Slovakia. The Poland – Czechia connection is both an opening on the Baltic Sea for Metrans as well as an example of the possible role of the Polish southern border.

“The complete rail network is now stretching from Gdansk, Hamburg, Bremerhaven, Wilhelmshaven and Rotterdam in northern Europe to Koper, Trieste, Piraeus and Istanbul in the south,” said the company.

This service was announced in July, with transit time revolving around six days and departures from both terminals on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The route will be through Turkey, Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, and Slovakia. The Halkali terminal is the entry/exit point for trains transiting between Turkey and the European mainland. Currently, two weekly roundtrips are planned. Read more
