The amount of rail traffic has doubled in less than a year, and the interest towards this new transport mode is still growing.<\/p>\n<p>Port operator Kvarken Ports opened a new railway terminal in the Port of Ume\u00e5 in 2022. The new terminal enables intermodal transports to pass through Ume\u00e5. In intermodal freight transport the goods stay in the same container or trailer unit while the transportation mode changes (e.g. from ship to train). The amount of railway traffic from the port doubled during the first year of operations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; We are proud to see how quickly the new terminal has established and attracted daily traffic. There is a significant interest towards transportation of trailers by rail, which will in turn benefit the ferry traffic between Ume\u00e5 and Vaasa, says <strong>Christer Nederstedt<\/strong>, Sales and Marketing Manager of Kvarken Ports.<\/p>\n<p>First Row Shipping was the first train operator to start scheduled departures from the Port of Ume\u00e5.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; We have invested heavily in this route and increased train departures from two to four times a week. We are offering door-to-door delivery solutions in Sweden, Europe and the whole world in co-operation with our partner network. Our fast and sustainable rail transports connect to the global logistics chain at the port of Gothenburg, says <strong>Nikolas Rowland<\/strong>, Managing Director at First Row Shipping.<\/p>\n<p>The railway terminal is located in the immediate vicinity of Wasaline ferry terminal. Wasaline is very pleased to introduce intermodal transports to its cargo customers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The terminal and frequent train departures have shortened the lead time between ports of Vaasa and Gothenburg to less than 24 hours. When the voyage starts aboard the world\u2019s most environmentally friendly ferry Aurora Botnia and continues on an electric train, emissions per transported tonne stay very low, says <strong>Tony Ehrs<\/strong>, Freight Director at Wasaline.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>Tony Ehrs<br \/>\nFreight Director, Wasaline<br \/>\ntony.ehrs@wasaline.com<br \/>\nTel: +358 40 768 1747<\/p>\n<p>Christer Nederstedt<br \/>\nSales and Marketing Manager, Kvarken Ports<br \/>\nChrister.nederstedt@kvarkenports.com<br \/>\nTel: +46 70-597 82 86<\/p>\n<p>Patrik \u00c5str\u00f6m<br \/>\nCommercial Director First Row Shipping &amp; Logistics AB<br \/>\npatrik.astrom@firstrowshipping.se<br \/>\nTel: +46 73-372 28 30<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-lcpvj5bu-2420de295a01ebe90f041eebb5e4313d-wrap avia-button-center  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><a href='https:\/\/www.wasaline.com\/en\/about-us\/press-room\/press-releases\/'  class='avia-button av-lcpvj5bu-2420de295a01ebe90f041eebb5e4313d av-link-btn avia-icon_select-no avia-size-medium avia-position-center avia-color-theme-color'   aria-label=\"All press releases\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >All press releases<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The opening of a new railway terminal has fueled growth in the Port of Ume\u00e5.
