TX Logistik offers Istanbul rail connection

[ November 15, 2022   //   ]

Italian-owned private rail operator TX Logistik AG – part of the Mercitalia Logistics (FS Italiane Group) – has been operating a service between Istanbul and Cologne since June 2022.

It has launched a connection between the cities between the Halkali Terminal in Istanbul and Curtici in Romania three times a week, which is now handling several units aweek. In Curtici, these are transferred to the company’s own intermodal connection to Cologne, which TX Logistik currently operates seven times a week in each direction.

Transit time between Cologne and Istanbul averages nine days but can be as little as seven. TX Logistik reports growing demand in Turkey for intermodal transport to Europe, especially among smaller and medium-sized forwarding companies.
