We offer efficient transport of agricultural commodities on the Danube, one of the main European waterways, connecting the hinterland with the Black Sea and international maritime routes. The Danube is a strategic transport artery for cereals, oilseeds, feed, fertilizers and other agro-commodities.

Route and transport options:

Origin: The Danube originates in Germany (Swabian Hills) and passes through 10 countries: Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova and Ukraine.

Destination: Transport can continue to the Black Sea, where subsequent maritime distribution to Turkey, the Middle East or the Mediterranean is possible.

Main ports: Bratislava (Slovakia), Komárno (Slovakia), Budapest (Hungary), Belgrade (Serbia), Galati and Constanța (Romania), Reni and Izmail (Ukraine).

Types of ships suitable for the Danube:

Rijeka and river barges: flat-bottomed ships suitable for bulk cargo such as grain, corn, soybeans or feed.

Push-tow convoys: multiple ships linked together for more efficient transport of larger volumes.

Tankers and multipurpose ships: for liquid or packaged agro-commodities such as vegetable oils or fertilizers in liquid form.

Advantages of Danube transport:

Economic efficiency: significantly lower costs compared to road or rail transport for large volumes.

Environmental friendliness: lower carbon footprint per ton of cargo.

Flexibility: possibility of combination with rail and road transport for door-to-door delivery.

Cargo safety: stable transport of dry and packaged commodities with minimal damage.

Typical commodities for Danube Transport:

Grains – wheat, corn, barley

Oilseeds – sunflower, rapeseed

Feeds and fertilizers

Various agro-industrial products ready for export

We offer reliable and flexible rail transport of agricultural commodities across Central and Eastern Europe, from producers to consumers or ports for further international distribution. Rail transport is ideal for large-volume commodities that require safe and economical transport.

Routes and transport options:

Origin: The main production areas of cereals and oilseeds include Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Ukraine and the Czech Republic.

Destination: The transport can be directed to inland ports on the Danube or the Black Sea, large logistics centers in Central Europe, or to Western European export destinations (Germany, Poland, Austria).

Main rail hubs: Bratislava, Komárno, Budapest, Győr, Debrecen, Košice, Constanța (Romania - port), Reni (Ukraine).

Types of trainsets and wagons suitable for agro-commodities:

Hopper cars: for cereals, corn, soybeans, barley.

Tank cars: for liquid agro-commodities, e.g. vegetable oils or liquid fertilizers.

Boxcars / covered wagons: for packaged commodities sensitive to moisture, such as seeds, packaged feed or specialty products.

Flatcars / platforms: for palletized or containerized transport, ideal for combined transport (train + ship / truck).

Advantages of rail transport:

High-volume efficiency: transport of hundreds to thousands of tons per train.

Lower costs over long distances compared to road transport.

Cargo safety: reduced risk of damage or loss of commodities.

Environmentally friendly transport: lower carbon footprint per ton of cargo.

Flexibility: individual sets can be optimized according to the type of commodity, quantity and delivery date.

Typical commodities for rail transport:

Grains: wheat, corn, barley, oats

Oilseeds: sunflower, rapeseed

Feed and fertilizers

Seeds and agro-industrial products ready for export

Combined routes:

The train can arrive directly at inland ports on the Danube, from where subsequent transport by river or sea is possible.

Transport to Western Europe via rail corridors, e.g. Budapest - Vienna - Germany.

Intermodal transport option: train + container transport to ship or truck for a door-to-door solution.
