ITALY, March 2026 — FS Logistix and Logtainer have launched new freight train services from the Ligurian ports of Genoa and Vado, aiming to bolster their integration into the European intermodal network. This initiative is a continuation of a commercial agreement signed in May 2025, which focused on developing intermodal maritime logistics through combined expertise.
The companies envision rail transport becoming the "backbone" of maritime flows, fostering stronger integration between ports, inland terminals, and markets. This strategic alignment is expected to yield significant benefits in terms of efficiency, competitiveness, and sustainability for logistics chains.
These new connections are particularly relevant as major European logistics groups actively seek to shift a larger portion of traffic from road to more efficient and less polluting solutions. FS Logistix will manage the rail component of the services, while Logtainer will act as the single commercial interface with the market.
The project emphasizes efficiency and sustainability, aiming to strengthen rail's role in transporting goods from Liguria. This move supports the broader industry objective of reducing environmental impact and enhancing the overall performance of freight transportation.
This development highlights the growing importance of intermodal solutions and the strategic role of rail in creating more sustainable and robust supply chains across Europe.
