With a new route for our direct connection between Wolfurt and Rotterdam, we are now also connecting Frenkendorf in Switzerland to our intermodal network, thereby expanding our multimodal logistics services.
Wolfurt is not only of great importance to Vorarlberg’s strongly export-oriented economy. Austria’s westernmost terminal is a hub for the entire Lake Constance region—and, even more so, for all of Europe. The Wolfurt freight center, the starting point for high-frequency TransFER connections, provides direct transport links to the northern ports of Hamburg and Bremerhaven, as well as to the Dutch port of Rotterdam, one of Europe’s most important transportation hubs.
Effective immediately, we are now offering an additional stop in Frenkendorf, Switzerland, as part of our TransFER Wolfurt–Rotterdam service. Two round trips will operate as usual from Wolfurt via Kufstein to Rotterdam and back. We will also operate an additional round trip from Rotterdam via Frenkendorf to Wolfurt. Loading and unloading facilities are available in Frenkendorf. This allows us to transport cargo from Frenkendorf to Wolfurt, where we connect to our extensive freight transport network. This creates connections to the Adriatic ports of Koper and Trieste, as well as a direct link to intercontinental cargo flows to the bimodal Bilk Terminal, Hungary’s largest terminal in Budapest. The goal is to expand the TransFER Wolfurt–Rotterdam service to four routes with two stops in Frenkendorf.
