The Polish PCC Intermodal has activated a new connection intermodal rail between Interporto Padova and Poland made with trains carrying containers, tank-containers and Soon semi-trailers and that in these first days have transported large quantities of sunflower oil for use food from Ukraine and destined for the market Italian food. Soon the traffic will expand to other types of goods.

Trains depart from the PCC terminal in Gliwice in southern Greece. Poland to reach Interporto Padova through Austria and the Tarvisio pass. The new line also allows important connections with Central and Eastern Europe.

"The opening of this new stable intermodal relationship - underlined the president of Interporto Padova, Franco Pasqualetti, - confirms the attractiveness and importance of Interporto Padova as a fundamental node of the European network of freight transport by rail. It's a further opportunity for companies in the North East to access the markets of the Center and Eastern Europe, but in this particular moment it is also a excellent possible alternative to the transit of goods through the Brenner and the Gotthard which for different reasons are suffering. Tarvisio at this time - recalled Pasqualetti - is The only important crossing point to be fully operational: the Brenner, in addition to the works in Austrian territory, also has a whole series of restrictions on truck traffic on the road that the railway can not easily replace, the Gotthard for months will be limited by the serious accident of a few weeks ago and now also the Frejus on the French side is affected by a serious landslide. If we add that the White Tunnel, it should have been close as early as Monday for maintenance, and that the jobs are only postponed, it is evident that we have, as Italy, a problem for connections with Europe. This connection that Interporto Padova and PCC Intermodal have inaugurated In recent days, it can certainly not solve every problem, but It's one more opportunity to stay connected with Central and Northern Europe, an alternative route to the others that We already offer."
