Metrans, the rail company of Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA), has expanded its Slovakian hub terminal in Dunajská Streda by around 5 hectares.
Metrans is offering its customers new storage and transportation options at one of the most important intermodal hubs in Central Europe, reported HHLA.
As a result of the expansion, Metrans now has a terminal area of 326,000 square metres, which is equivalent to around 45 soccer fields. The expansion area of 50,000 square metres will primarily be used for container repair and storage.
A new container washing facility has also been built in this area.
