Heavy and scheduleable cargo
When cargo-ready and delivery windows allow coordination with train schedules and available capacity.
Rail freight
Rail is a route-led option, not an identical substitute for every cargo
Rail feasibility depends on network access at origin and destination, transfer terminals, wagon capacity, schedules and whether a road or sea leg is needed. For heavier or more scheduleable cargo, the option is assessed after an operational review of the route and transfer points.
When is rail freight a stronger fit?
Routes with active rail access
For origins and destinations with usable rail access or practical terminal connections.
A multimodal chain
When rail is paired with road or sea and transfer points are defined from the outset.
