Gain landside reliability with modal shifts from truck to rail transport
Responding to changing market situations while managing decarbonisation goals is a lofty task. Companies are now looking for ways to control their capacity, move their products faster and reduce the number of touchpoints.
In this video, Christian Carstensson Olesen, Product Owner, Cross Border Transportation at Maersk, discusses how Cross Border Transportation can help you with reliability, resilience and decarbonisation.
Transporting your cargo across Europe just got easier
The logistics industry is shifting its focus back to rail transport. While this move brings many new possibilities, it doesn’t come without difficulties.
In the e-book, Back on track: The pros and pros of rail in European logistics, our experts discuss the biggest challenges faced by companies transporting cargo across Europe, why rail is vital to overcoming them and how Maersk is at the forefront of driving this progress.
Why choose Cross Border Transportation?
Along with being a flexible inland solution, Cross Border Transportation also offers several other advantages.
Rail networks offer fixed schedules, frequent departures, and guaranteed availability through Maersk's controlled block space agreements.

Combine rail and road
Cross Border Transportation uses modal shift which can help lower your inland supply chain’s GHG emissions compared to road transport. Get pre and on-carriage processes via truck, which means you can combine road and rail transport, based on your supply chain needs.
With this solution, you can move multiple containers to your destinations in one go using trains, particularly during the longest leg of your supply chain journey. With most of Europe’s rail network being electrified, shifting to rail can reduce reliance on fossil fuels compared to road transport, thus helping you reduce GHG emissions.
