Friday in the port of Trieste, to the term of a sitting of the Harbour Committee, will hold a ceremony in order to celebrate the thousandth intermodal train operated from Rail Traction Company Spa (RTC) to the Pier YOU of the giuliano port, that it is managed by society EMT (Europe Multipurpose Terminals) of the Francesco Parisi group.

the first intermodal train is operated in the October of the 2008 and today Pier YOU discharge and recharges three intermodal trains to the day for seven coming and destined days to the week to stations of the Germany, Luxemburg and Czech Republic. This corresponds to a annual ability to railway handling of intermodal units equivalents to 140.000 teu.

Last year the Pier has reached YOU the goal of the 52% of the marine traffic reached the terminal and forwarded via railroad, exceeding with this result the objective place from the EU for year 2050. EMT has evidenced that, with the recent start of the third turn of the harbour railway maneuver thanks to the engagement of Harbour Authority of Trieste, Railway Net Italiana and AdriaFer, the harbour enterprises of Trieste see possibility of ulterior increase of the volumes of the harbour traffic and the quota destined traffic to the railway carrier.

"the effettuazione of the thousandth train - the managing director of Rail Traction Company has declared, Harald Schmittner - is seemed to RTC and EMT the more apt occasion for giving a positive sign in times of crisis, let alone in order to demonstrate that joining the forces it is possible to grow. The benefits deriving from this activity are multiple since Trieste and the entire harbour infrastructure draw, they also, important advantages from the increase of the flows of the goods between Turkey and the Germany in terms of creation of places of work and strategic positioning for the flows between Europe and the Middle East. United to the economic advantages - it has found Schmittner - they are from mentioning the positive effects for the atmosphere. Such increment contributes, in fact, to the displacement of the traffics from the road to the track and the consequent reduction of emissions of co2. According to the how much communicated to us from society EKOL Logistics reduction of CO ² in three years 2010-2012 it has been of 170.568.613 kg".
