Rail & Shipping Line Services

Below is an overview of rail and shipping line services and rotations calling at the Vado Port Complex in northern Italy.

Rail services

With 5 daily rail connections to Italy’s main inland terminals, your containers move quickly from vessel to rail and viceversa thanks to high‑productivity operations and no vessel waiting time or restrictions.

This means your cargo leaves the port sooner and reaches its destination faster. With 14 trains per day capacity and a 30% rail quota, Vado ensures continuity even when highways are congested or disrupted. Rail reduces emissions helping you meet sustainability targets without compromising speed or reliability. Upcoming infrastructure upgrades, including a new railway area with dedicated cranes, 750‑meter tracks and a fourth rail track, will boost capacity, enabling Vado to exceed 40% rail quota and extend its reach toward Southern Europe in the future giving your cargo even more routing options.
