IMS launches 6 new routes to Graz
Vienna, 26. April 2013 - 6 new products for Styria
Available to all customers of IMS 6 new products to and from Graz are launched.
Internationally, the company combines the Cargo Center Graz with the northern ports of Hamburg and Bremerhaven as well as the western ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp, nationally, with Enns and Vienna.
"I am pleased that Graz, next to Vienna, Enns and Salzburg, is now optimally connected to the German ports of Hamburg and Bremerhaven." explains Wolfgang Tomassovich, CEO of IMS, "via our antenna trains from Vienna we also connect Rotterdam and Antwerp. "
"The National antenna was installed to offer a lower-cost alternative to Rail Cargo Austria to our customers, " Tomassovich defines the background of the national antennas, "I believe that this is the only way to prevent the shift to the road. "
Since the last price increase and the thinning of the network by Rail Cargo Austria there is increasingly shifting freight from rail to road.
On the one hand, the tariffs are more expensive compared to the truck and on the other hand, the timetables have gotten worse.
Also from an environmental point of view, a shift back to rail is desirable and is also promoted by IMS.
