TransFER Linz–Antwerp has been launched a decade ago. With six round trips per week and a consistently high utilisation rate of around 90%, it enables transport between Austria and Belgium within 24 hours – primarily for conventional wagon loads, but also for containers.
Initially, the TransFER service was operated by external partners from Passau to the port of Antwerp. RCG is currently operating the route to the Belgian border using its own traction. In Belgium, partners continue to provide traction and last-mile services. The TransFER offers access to all parts of the port of Antwerp, depending on the available last-mile options, which are assessed at short notice to meet individual customer needs, the company declared.
Since autumn 2024, the TransFER Duisburg–Antwerp has complemented the RCG network and is aligned with the connections TransFER Linz–Duisburg–Wels and TransFER Linz–Antwerp. At present, two round trips per week are operated between Duisburg and the port of Antwerp, with this frequency set to increase to three per week from summer 2025.
In addition, a continuous logistics chain is available from Duisburg/Rheinkamp to Northern Europe: in combination with the TransFER Linz–Scandinavia–Wels, volumes can be added for Malmö, and import and export shipments to and from Antwerp can be integrated, the company concluded.
