YILPORT Is Now Activating the Existing Intermodal Terminal in the Port of Gävle
To meet the demand for intermodal transport, YILPORT is now activating the existing intermodal terminal in the Port of Gävle, Fredriksskans. One reason is stated to be that the EU’s mobility package, which enters into force in 2022, may change the conditions for commercial traffic and may mean a shortage of drivers and a price increase for road transport.
With the intermodal terminal activated, YILPORT covers more parts of the logistics chain. The intermodal terminal will cover 50,000 sqm and is located close to both warehouses and quays. The areas already exist in YILPORT’s area in Port of Gävle and at the site of the intermodal terminal, there are 550 meters of railway tracks from before.
Many of our customers want to be able to change traffic types efficiently. We see an increased need for rail transport due to the green transition and the potentially increasing costs for road transport, comments Håkan Bergström, Sales Director at YILPORT Nordic.
YILPORT will offer complete solutions for intermodal traffic management in lifting, shifting, storage and stuffing of trailers and containers. YILPORT Gävle is investing in two new reach stackers with trailer lifting capacity to cope with it.
There are many changes in the logistics chains right now. Thus, it requires more environmentally friendly transport. In the intermodal terminal, pricing will be competitive and more in line with the market for railway terminals, says Håkan Bergström.
