Danish shipping giant Maersk agreed with East-West Intermodal Logistics (EWG) to launch container depot and dry port services at EWG’s terminal in Fényeslitke. “The dry port concept means that a shipping line relocates certain functions traditionally carried out in seaports to an inland terminal”, the companies said in a statement.
The deal with Maersk quickly follows another positive development for the EWG terminal, this time regarding semi-trailers and not containers. Since February, a train loaded with semi-trailers has been running between the facility in Hungary and Lviv, in Ukraine. Both these initiatives highlight how the EWG terminal quickly became a key hub for Central Europe since its opening in 2022.\
