Rail Cargo Group expands Duisburg–Scandinavia wagonload link

Rising security risks in the Middle East are affecting maritime logistics, prompting new restrictions on cargo shipments via southern European ports.

ÖBB Rail Cargo Group is adding 500 high-volume Eanos-y wagons for light and sheared scrap transport, with 110 already in service and full deployment due by mid-2027.

Since freight services began in early November 2025, around 1,050 trains with over 21,000 wagons have run on the new line.
