APM Terminals Aarhus secures high flexibility and sets the pace with 92% punctuality rate on rail

At APM Terminals Aarhus, the punctuality of goods trains between APM Terminals Aarhus and Taulov is exemplary, with over 90% arriving and departing on schedule. The unmatched reliability is just one of the reasons for the growing demand for rail solutions from APM Terminals Aarhus.

In the first quarter of 2024, APM Terminals Aarhus facilitated 91 train shuttles between Aarhus and the Taulov rail terminal, with an impressive 92% punctuality rate among them.

Helle Almind, Commercial Manager at APM Terminals Aarhus, emphasizes, "The high level of reliability, coupled with flexibility and significant climate benefits, are drawing an increasing number of customers to rail transportation. We take pride in meeting demands and consistently delivering efficient rail productivity, making our service exceptionally robust."

Customized solutions

"Our product is very flexible and we can with short notice arrange special solutions together with our customers and partners. As an example we during Easter arranged a rail shuttle to port of Aalborg together with Viking rail and ANCO trans," says Helle Almind.

Joakim Bang Jakobsen, operations manager at Ancotrans adds," When possible, intermodal transport is one of the most efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective ways to haul high-capacity goods. At Ancotrans we are happy to be able to offer our own train service in Sweden, an Intermodal product in Germany and - in this case - a train solution in Denmark, when the need arises.”

High capacity - low emissions and costs

Leveraging rail transportation for freight has long been recognized as an environmentally friendly alternative to road transportation, emitting significantly less CO2 emissions. One train shuttle can accommodate the equivalent freight of around 35 trucks.

Helle Almind notes, "By choosing rail, our customers contribute to relieving road congestion. Despite common misconceptions about rail being more expensive than trucks, our customers experience up to double the cost efficiency when factoring in all externalities such as road congestion and environmental impact."
