We keep on improving and extending our network and services. Take a look at the latest map of our network to see all our rail and barge destinations. You can use our transportplanner tool to check how we can help you.  

By using Vectron locomotives, EGS and traction partner RTB Cargo are frontrunners in sustainable container transport by rail:

EGS has added Kornwestheim in the state of Baden-Württemberg in Germany to its network. The train connection is an extension of the synchromodal services to and from this region.In southern Germany, EGS also offers connections with Nuremberg and Munich. The connection to Kornwestheim is provided by Boxxpress in combination with the connection with Munich.

Hutchison Ports Venlo - part of the EGS network - makes terminal processes safer and more efficient. One of the new security measures is the collection of containers with a "pick up reference".

Today one of our 24 weekly Rotterdam- Hutchison Ports Venlo trains is making a triangle Rotterdam-Venlo-Duisburg-Rotterdam. After being unloaded at Hutchison Ports Venlo, the train will be loaded with empty containers destined for Hutchison Ports Duisburg. There, it will be fully loaded again for the ECT Delta terminal in Rotterdam.

With the arrival of these trains, Hutchison Ports Duisburg now also connects China and Western Europe with the fast route via land. The terminal is already optimally located for connecting the region with the rest of the world via the sealanes. The inland terminal serves as one of the extended gates within ECT’s European Gateway Services network. The inland terminal is connected daily by barge and by rail with the deep-sea terminals of ECT and other terminals in Rotterdam and Antwerp.

EGS handles Coronavirus with care. Various measures and protocols have been observed to protect our employees and visitors.More information on  EGS and ECT's policy on Coronavirus can be found in the file on this topic, published on the ECT website.This file is updated with new developments.

This week Hutchison Ports Belgium was honored with a visit from Nike. This terminal in the EGS network acts as an important link in Nike's logistics process.Last January was the biggest peak month ever for them and due to the service and good communication between both parties, this large volume was handled quickly.As a thank you for this, Nike brought a delicious cake.

The network of connections European Gateway Services offers between Bavaria in Germany and the port of Rotterdam is increasingly becoming more comprehensive. The Rotterdam - Nuremberg rail shuttle is now already calling at all the deepsea terminals at the Maasvlakte (1 and 2).
