APM Terminals Aarhus and Port of Aalborg launch new rail service

APM Terminals Aarhus and the Port of Aalborg have launched a new weekly rail service connecting the two Danish ports. The new connection gives companies in Northern Jutland direct rail access to Denmark’s largest container terminal in Aarhus. From there, cargo can connect with international shipping networks. The service also provides an alternative to the existing direct feeder connection between Aalborg and Hamburg. According to the Port of Aalborg, the partnership aims to provide companies with more transport options.
