Schweizerzug, a rail service offered by the Swiss-based logistics provider Swissterminal Group, is launching a new direct connection between Frenkendorf/Basel and the Port of Antwerp on July 2, 2018. This means that Switzerland will have an overnight rail service with the Belgian hub for the first time.
Schweizerzug will initially start with two departures a week to the Antwerp Gateway 1700 terminal, which is operated by DP World. From there, connections are offered to all the terminals in the port of Antwerp. There are also other links available via Swissterminal's headquarters in Frenkendorf to Niederglatt/Zurich and Melzo/Milan.
With the direct rail link from Gateway 1700, Schweizerzug helps to reduce handling delays of container barges due to congestion in the Port of Antwerp.
