The LOG4NRW project has been launched in Germany

It aims to reduce the burden on roads by integrating railway transport and inland water transport.

Ukrzaliznytsia transported over 1.2 million tons of grain for export in 15 days

The first train from Kroytshtal headed to Duisburg, where the cargo was transferred to a barge and sent to Rotterdam. Regular trains will connect multiple container terminals.

The project contributes to economic growth, road relief, and environmental conservation by replacing road transport with railway and water routes.

LOG4NRW is responsible for sending container trains twice a week, linking terminals in Førde-Emmelsumu, Duisburg, Hafen-Dortmund, and Kroytshtal.

According to the ministry’s leadership, implementing this multimodal project holds strategic importance for the region’s economy, easing road congestion, and promoting ecological sustainability.

The plan is to replace tens of thousands of car trips with railway and water transport, a significant step toward more efficient logistics.
