Gain landside reliability with modal shifts from truck to rail transport
Responding to changing market situations while managing decarbonisation goals is a lofty task. Companies are now looking for ways to control their capacity, move their products faster and reduce the number of touchpoints.

Transporting your cargo across Europe just got easier
The logistics industry is shifting its focus back to rail transport. This is because rail offers more reliability and aids your decarbonisation efforts. While this move brings many new possibilities, it doesn’t come without difficulties.
In the e-book, Back on track: The pros and pros of rail in European logistics, our experts discuss the biggest challenges faced by companies transporting cargo across Europe, why rail is vital to overcoming them and how Maersk is at the forefront of driving this progress.
