Dutch company Schavemaker Logistics is aiming for an expansion of its Netherlands – Poland rail service. After boosting the route\u2019s frequency to five weekly round-trips in September, it is now betting on another expansion by Christmas: \u201cSchavemaker\u2019s Christmas greeting\u201d.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>After an expansion to five weekly round-trips from late September this year, Schavemaker has now set its sights on six weekly services, the company\u2019s sales director Susanne Dirksen tells RailFreight.com. As part of Schavemaker\u2019s service, trains travel between the Dutch Port of Moerdijk and the company\u2019s K\u0105ty Wroc\u0142awskie terminal near the city of Wroc\u0142aw in Poland.<\/p>\n

Initially, the reason to set up the rail service was the labour shortage in the road sector, where Schavemaker is also active. \u201cIt prompted us to set up the route to Poland more than five years ago\u201d, Dirksen explains.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to have a multimodal solution, so we ended up in the Moerdijk port. It is a beautiful location between Rotterdam and Antwerp, which offers daily departures to England, Ireland, Spain and Portugal.\u201d Schavemaker does first and last-mile transportation by truck, but the 1000-kilometre gist of the route is done via rail.<\/p>\n
