German logistics company Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG, or HHLA, has set up a Ukraine unit to send containers by rail to major cities from Odesa’s Container Terminal. Although container traffic was up by 8.5% last year, to 650,000 units, only 22% of the containers leave the port by rail, less than half the market share of HHLA’s home port, Hamburg. This fall is starting to work with container trains from Odesa to Kharkiv, Ternopil and Zaporizhia. Philip Sweens, managing director of HHLA International, told Container Management news site: “With an efficient train system based on customer-friendly services, transparent prices, simple booking processes and reliable timetables, we want to tap the considerable potential of the Ukrainian intermodal market.”
