TX Logistik expands Scandinavian rail service, Troy Container Line relocates and expands Chicago LCL export CFS warehouse, and University of Denver’s Intermodal Transportation Institute changes its name.
TX Logistik AG (TXL) increased the frequency of its rail service between Herne, Germany and Malmö, Sweden from six departures per week to eight. The private rail transport company, owned by Ferrovie dello Stato subsidiary Trenitalia, said the service expansion was driven by demand both in the German market and the greater European market.
“This consolidates our position as the strongest provider for the Nordic countries,” Jörg Nowaczyk, director of intermodal at TXL, said in a statement. “If the current demand continues, we will plan additional departures.”
TXL employs around 500 people and had revenues of 250 million euros in 2014, according to a statement from the company.
NVOCC Troy Container Line will relocate and expand its LCL export CFS warehouse in Chicago. The new facility will feature more than 70,000 square feet of floor space and 29 dock doors, some of which will be dedicated to specific cargo, allowing for expedited turnaround times.
The relocation and expansion of the LCL export facility comes after Troy’s recently enhanced direct Mid-West to Middle East LCL Export service.
Troy will continue to utilize its current Chicago-area warehouse for the receiving of all import cargo. The company said in a statement it will accept LCL export cargo at the current location and transfer it to the new warehouse without charge until April 17, 2015, but that this may result in a delay in sailing.
The Intermodal Transportation Institute at the University of Denver has changed its name to the Transportation Institute to reflect its comprehensive approach to providing leadership for supporting all transportation modes.
Since its founding in 1996, more than 200 participants have graduated from the Transportation Institute’s executive master’s degree program.
