The renovated Eurobridge Intermodal Terminal LLC has begun operations in Zakarpattia Oblast, focused on supporting cross-border rail freight transport and connecting Ukraine with Hungary, Slovakia, and Romania. This was announced by Viktor Mykyta, Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, on his Facebook page.
The terminal’s modernization was made possible by foreign investment, particularly from the German company Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA), in partnership with the Ukrainian fund Fortior Capital. The total amount of funding exceeded ₴120 million.
This year, the terminal will be able to handle around 100,000 containers, with the prospect of further expansion. The implementation of this project is an important step in supporting Ukrainian businesses, which, despite the full-scale war, continue to export their products to European Union countries.
The upgraded Eurobridge terminal plays a key role in the development of cross-border logistics and Ukraine’s integration into the European transport network.
Recall that the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine granted permission to Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (Hamburg, Germany) through its subsidiary HHLA International GmbH, together with Fortior Capital Asset Management LLC, to acquire control over Eurobridge Intermodal Terminal LLC in August last year. The terminal is located in Batiovo (Zakarpattia Oblast, on the border with Hungary) on a site covering 69,000 square meters, designed for transshipment of grain, containers, and general cargo. It will operate under the brand name HHLA Eurobridge Batiovo as a joint venture between HHLA International GmbH and the Ukrainian investment company Fortior Capital LLC. HHLA plans to develop the facility in partnership with its railway subsidiary METRANS.
