Visit to Dunajska Streda

Another programme highlight is the site visit, which is becoming a staple of RailFreight.com events. This time, we will have the chance to tour METRANS’ hub in Dunajska Streda[4]. The Hub in Dunajska Streda boasts impressive numbers: a terminal area spanning 326,000 square meters and a stacking area covering 296,000 square meters.

With an available trucking fleet of 223 trucks from long-term subcontractors, it offers a comprehensive intermodal solution for businesses worldwide. As a one-stop destination, it facilitates shipments to and from Europe in all directions. By loading cargo once onto various container types such as 20 or 40-foot containers, open tops, reefers, tanks, or bulk containers, their experts ensure the selection of the best transportation mode for intact cargo delivery to the final destination.

The site tour accommodates a limited number of people. Please note: You must register upfront to attend the site visit.[5] After the site tour, all attendees will have the opportunity to join our cocktail drinks at the event venue, which is a great opportunity to network with professionals participating in the event.
