Terminal Container Athus and rail operator HUPAC start new rail services

Both Terminal Container Athus and rail operator HUPAC have begun new rail services to and from the Port of Zeebrugge. TCA is restarting a weekly container train between Zeebrugge and Athus. 

TCA was founded in 1989 and specialises in the combination of rail and road transport of maritime containers. The terminal forms a hinge between Antwerp, Zeebrugge and Rotterdam on the one hand and the Saarland-Lorraine-Luxembourg region on the other.

CSP and TCA will transport containers from two calls of the Ocean Alliance. At first, the terminals will offer one roundtrip each week. However, if volumes increase, a second rotation may easily be added. 

The rail operator HUPAC initiated a connection between the Port of Zeebrugge and both Brescia and Barcelona this month. From September, the rail operator will also offer a rail link between Zeebrugge and the Polish Warsaw. The connections with Barcelona and Warsaw go via Antwerp. 

With these new connections HUPAC aims at traffic from the United Kingdom and from the other shortsea services that call at Zeebrugge.
