In partnership with German intermodal transport operator METRANS, DCT Gdańsk (DCT) has officially opened a direct rail connection to the Czech Republic. The rail connection's maiden trip successfully ran from Ostrava to Gdańsk on 6 September 2022. The service will run three times a week with arrivals at the DCT terminal every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

With an annual rail capacity of 750,000 TEUs, DCT is one of the largest rail facilities in Europe and is the closest port for large regions in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The rail connection is set to significantly improve logistics flow in the European region, which is crucial considering the ongoing high demand.

DCT CEO Charles Baker said, "With this new rail link, we now have a regular direct connection between one of the key Czech industrial regions and the biggest container terminal on the Baltic Sea. This cooperation will definitely bring added value to DCT Gdańsk and METRANS, as well as to the economies of our countries."
