About the terminal

The Brwinów terminal is located 15 km southwest of Warsaw. It extends on an area of 14 hectares and provides a capacity of up to 180,000 intermodal units per year in phase II. The facility offers rail/road transhipment as well as additional services for intermodal units.

The new transhipment terminal will allow for the consolidation of trains to Russia and China carrying goods from all over Europe.

The operator will be able to handle 740 metre-long trains on four transhipment tracks at this centrally located facility.
