Volume handled by Baltic Rail

We are pleased to announce the volumes handled by Baltic Rail during 2023. As can be seen we have experienced a drop in traffic volume resulting from reduced economic activity and the war in Ukraine. It is anticipated that growth will return in 2024. CEO Stephen Archer stated ‘We would like to thank all of our customers for their support and our partners for their hard work during this difficult period’.

The 19th Trans Middle East 2023

Baltic Rail was represented at Trans Middle East in Dubai on 25 January.  Stephen Archer (CEO) spoke about the opportunity that existed to cut carbon emissions today by using the already operational intermodal route between Poland and the Middle East via the Adriatic Sea. Not only does the route offer lower carbon emissions but also can provide much faster transit time. For example, Poland factory door to Jeddah via Koper port – 13 days. Speaking about the event Stephen Archer said ‘So delighted to introduce fast access from Poland to the shipping community in the Middle East. Traffic has already started but it is clear that the potential for future growth is substantial.’

Mediterranean Ports and Shipping 2022

Baltic Rail was delighted to take part in the Mediterranean Ports and Shipping Conference in Portoroz between 24 and 26 May 2022. Colleagues representing all transport contributors discussed new ideas and the challenges facing supply chains in the current political and economic climate.

We were provided with a tour of the Port of Koper – full with many types of cargo. Future plans for infrastructure expansion and capacity increases were also explained. A visit to a conservation region adjacent to the Port was also enjoyed.

Stephen Archer made a presentation which discussed modal shift to rail – benefitting from more economic energy efficiency  – at a time of higher market prices and a democratic demand for a shift to greener solutions. The generous hospitality of the Adriatic hosts and the warm Spring weather made the whole event one to remember!
