MSC enhances Europe rail network with new MEDWAY Belgium branch

MSC has announced the launch of a new branch of MEDWAY in Belgium, which has already commenced operations late last week.

Under MSC’s inland shipping logistics partner MEDLOG, the new rail company will operate as a licensed freight rail operator in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Austria.

Customers shipping to and from north-west Europe will be served with the new business, according to a statement. From its opening, the branch will operate daily connections between the port of Antwerp and four destinations in Germany, Neuss, Frankfurt, Germersheim and Wörth Am Rhein. In the medium term, it will also connect the ports of Northern Europe, Bremerhaven, Rotterdam and Hamburg, with inland areas in central Europe.

“The new MEDWAY Belgium branch expands our rail freight operator footprint in Europe,” said Salvatore Prudente, MEDLOG executive director.

“Establishing rail services in the north-west of Europe enables us to guarantee links with our own assets, as well as expanding our offerings to current clients. We’re incredibly proud of the work our dedicated teams have done to get us to this point and look forwards to continue to grow in the rail freight operations space,” he added.

It should be noted that the rail transit branch currently has four electric interoperable locomotives in its fleet and some more are expected to be delivered at a later date. The locomotives are supplied by MEDWAY partner Alphatrains and the railcars by VTG.
