Renewed investment in rail shuttle service

The Port of Gothenburg is expanding its range of rail shuttles by once again offering a shuttle service to Drammen in Norway. The first departure will be at the beginning of November and is part of a joint venture with Green Cargo and H. Strøm/Rail Terminal Drammen.

“Norway has for a long time been a priority area for shuttle traffic and we are extremely pleased to once again include this route in our shuttle system,” says Stig-Göran Thorén, head of rail operations at the Port of Gothenburg.

The rail shuttle will operate at night in both directions with five departures each week. The first shuttle will leave the Port of Gothenburg on November 2nd.

“We already have customers who have opted to transport their freight using this shuttle and our hope is that more operators and forwarders will realise the benefits of rail transport on this route,” says Stig-Göran Thoren.
