Vienna, 19.07.2022 – ÖBB Rail Cargo Group (RCG) is setting new standards in the Czech rail freight transport market with its new Melnik–Wilhelmshaven TransFER connection. From July 2022 the TransFER service will run once a week on the Melnik–Děčín–Maschen–Hude–Wilhelmshaven route and vice versa, with antenna connections to other terminals in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The service leaves Germany for the Czech Republic every Monday and returns every Tuesday. The TransFER is particularly well suited for ISO containers, but hazardous goods can also be transported.
RCG expands its network – TransNET
The new connection to the North Sea means that RCG has expanded its digital TransNET, where you can see the whole network of TransFER connections to and from all ports, business and industry hubs at a glance. These can be discovered under the motto “TransNET, let's play!”; the service is available in twelve languages and also lets you explore our combinations and create new routes. After selecting the respective route, icons show which services are offered at the chosen locations.
