Integrating the supply chain through combined transport.
The Port of Trieste has the highest number of rail connections among the Italian ports, and that is bound to increase further. As a matter of fact, unaccompanied combined transport is a growing market, since it is competitive over long distances (more than 400 kilometers) as against road haulage, fostered by favorable national and European transport policies, and it is carbon neutral from an environmental perspective.
In the Samer world, the above conditions laid the basis for the creation of an intermodal terminal, strategically located next to the main berth used for the Europe-Turkey Sea Highway, equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructures to streamline a safe and efficient interchange between ships and trains, for the sake of environmental sustainability. All the trains' arrivals/departures and loading/unloading operations are matched with the ships' schedules, allowing for the quickest delivery of cargoes to their final destination.
These high-frequency services connect the Ro-Ro terminals in Trieste to Central, and Northern Europe (please click on the map of destinations below), often reaching the terminal maximum capacity of 90 trains per week, open to all customers, loading 45' HC containers, semi-trailers, tank containers and swap bodies.
