EUROPE a dedicated train from Zeebrugge into Curtici , serving the serving Hungarian and Bulgarian markets in conjunction with its partner Transmec . Wim Blomme said this innovative service had been established last year in order to develop into the Balkan area and to expand into new markets . This new service is complimentary to the weekly dedicated company trains running into Italy from Belgium . It completes the intermodal coverage into Southern Europe since the company also has a large footprint in Iberia with regular high frequency services .
From January 2016 , P & OFM will be operating new dedicated company trains from The Netherlands into Italy . These trains will carry both intermodal containers and ‘ crane-able ’ trailers ( Huckepack ). Investment over the past 12 months into 450 Huckepack trailers enables the business to serve Polish , Italian and Balkan markets as well as driving a modal shift from road to rail .
It is impressive to see the changes that P & O Ferrymasters has undergone in recent years and it is certainly to the credit of its staff and management team that these have taken place so seamlessly . Having risen to become one of the leading logisticians in Europe , the company could have easily continued business as usual and remained profitable . Deviating from the beaten track was certainly a risk , but one that has proven to be beneficial for both its customers and the company itself .
