Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) is acquiring a 60% stake in Eurobridge Intermodal Terminal LLC in Batiovo, western Ukraine.
This was reported by the CFTS portal, citing the publication NDR.
The terminal will be operated under the name “HHLA Eurobridge Batiovo” as a joint venture between HHLA International GmbH and the Ukrainian investment company Fortior Capital LLC.
HHLA will acquire the majority stake and continue to develop the terminal together with its rail subsidiary METRANS.
"HHLA has been active in Ukraine for over 20 years. Ukraine is and remains an important growth market with great potential for intermodal freight transport. The aim is to create a strong intermodal corridor between the EU and Ukraine, thereby contributing to economic integration," said Angela Titzrath, CEO of HHLA.
"The Eurobridge Terminal is currently undergoing extensive modernization – a bulk cargo terminal is being transformed into an intermodal hub for container transport. Container operations are scheduled to start in the fourth quarter of 2025," said Philip Sweens, Managing Director of HHLA International GmbH.
The HHLA Eurobridge Batiovo terminal is located near the EU border at a central intersection of several international railway corridors, making it an important hub for freight traffic between Ukraine, Hungary, and Slovakia.
