Two new rail freight services were launched to intermodal hubs near Milan, in northern Italy. One connects the Maddaloni- Marcianise terminal, north of Naples, to Contship\u2019s Rail Hub MIlano in Melzo, east of the city. The other one links the port of Trieste, in the Italian northeast, with the Malpensa Intermodale terminal near the homonym airport west of Milan.<\/strong>

The first train departed seven days ago. \u201cDepartures from Melzo are scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays, while those from Marcianise will take place on Wednesdays and Fridays\u201d, the Contship said.<\/p>\n

The Trieste-Malpensa service was inaugurated on Thursday 5 December. There are currently four roundtrips every week, but there are already plans to increase the frequency in 2025. The service sees the involvement of the port of Trieste, logistics operator Alpe Adria, shipping giant DFDS, the Swiss Federal Railways and Malpensa Intermodale, which manages the terminal.<\/p>\n
