This project, implemented in collaboration with the port of Hirtshals and the Danish operator Nordjyske Jernbaner, aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions as part of the Interreg program.

LTG Group and Ukrzaliznytsia will develop the intermodal route Klaipeda-Kyiv

It is planned that the route will become permanent by the end of 2024, with the prospect of serving 220 European and 12 Norwegian terminals.

The new route also opens up opportunities for transporting carbon dioxide to a future terminal at the port of Hirtshals for shipment to depleted oil and gas fields in the North Sea.

This initiative aims to create a competitive and environmentally sustainable alternative to road transport, as well as reduce congestion on roads in Denmark.
