New: TransFER Belgrade–Rijeka

RCG has expanded its position in the Western Balkans through strategic measures in the Serbian market. The founding of a carrier company in Belgrade in 2023 was followed in 2024 by the founding of a rail freight forwarding company together with Transfera d.o.o., one of the leading freight forwarding companies in the Western Balkans. The combination of RCG's expertise in rail freight transport and Transfera's in-depth market knowledge result in tailor-made logistics solutions that meet the specific requirements of the Serbian market, such as the recent TransFER Krusevac–Budapest–Duisburg and the latest TransFER Belgrade–Rijeka.

Direct connection to the Serbian rail network

The new TransFER runs between the Nelt container terminal – strategically located near Belgrade and other important industrial centres – and the Adriatic Gate Container Terminal (AGCT) in Rijeka – the largest port in Croatia, through which around 70% of goods to and from Serbia pass. With the TransFER, Rijeka is becoming increasingly important as a central transhipment hub for the Serbian market. With the direct connection to the Serbian rail network, RCG can make rail freight transport more efficient for its customers and reduce transit times. This enables customers to optimise their logistics processes and take advantage of new opportunities in the region.

100% in-house rail transport

The TransFER Belgrade–Rijeka is operated by RCG in own traction, with one to two round trips per week and a transit time of up to 24 hours. With a capacity of 76 TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit) per train, both 20- as well as 40- and 45-foot containers can be transported for intermodal flows of goods. In addition to a significant reduction in CO2 emissions compared to pure road transport, the TransFER offers other benefits that ensure transparency and plannability, including additional services such as the organisation of the first and last mile as well as regular status updates by e-mail.
