Rail Transport
Intermodal rail coordination from Rotterdam and Antwerp, with trucking at both ends.
Intermodal Rail, Coordinated by FMM Freight
We coordinate container transport by rail from the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp through certified rail operators. FMM Freight does not operate trains: we book the rail leg, arrange the trucking at both ends, and keep you informed.
Rail works well for heavy and high-volume containers on fixed corridors. You get one quote and one point of contact for the whole door-to-door journey.
