Press Release
Tailwind Intermodal
Hamburg, 8 March 2024
News from Austria: Our new affiliated company Tailwind Intermodal, located in Graz, is set to organise and coordinate hinterland transports of all goods arriving with Tailwind Shipping Lines at the port of Koper.
The Slovenian city is the strategically most important port for us. Our ships in the Panda Express Service transport goods from China to Koper, while Tailwind Intermodal is responsible for the onward transportation to the hinterland as well as the return of empty containers to Koper so that they can be loaded onto the Panda Express returning to China.
Tailwind Intermodal commissions various partners to transport the goods with up to five daily train connections to the Cargo Center Graz (Styria/Austria), and to palletize them in the warehouse located directly at the terminal. Thanks to its geographical location between the Adriatic and the Baltic States, the Cargo Center Graz, in conjunction with Koper, forms an ideal connection to Eastern Europe with short transit times via a European seaport – and back.
By combining sea freight and onshore carriage, Tailwind offers to strengthen the performance of the supply chains between China and Europe as a neutral service provider in the market. Our aim is to ensure resilience along the entire supply chain, from organizing and coordinating sea transport to reloading freight trains to palletizing to truck delivery to the loading dock of the final destination.
