Frankfurt am Main, 01 September 2010. The interactive intermodal terminal database, presenting information on terminals of all AGORA -Partners in a first step, was launched today.
Information on intermodal terminals is required by intermodal operators, customers of intermodal transport services and the “interested community” of intermodal supporters. Several sources of information exist:
- The intermodal terminal operators themselves
- Ports or logistics centres in which the terminals are located
- Companies to whom the terminals belong
- Regions or countries in which they are located
- Intermodal operators or other institutions
Each of these sources provide a specific set...

In April 2010, the project findings – “good practices” – for the management of intermodal terminal have been published via the AGORA website in a modern format, chapter by chapter with the possibility of continuous update and extension on further subjects. You can find it here:

Intermodal terminals are decisive for the growth of intermodal transport since they facilitate the physical interfacing between different transport modes and often moderate the interests of intermodal stakeholders. The seminar convened 30 high level experts of intermodal terminals in Europe (Austria, Belgium, Germany, Hungary, Italy, The Netherlands, Poland, and Romania) representing a total handling capacity of more than 6 million loading units per year.
The exchange of experiences performed in the framework of the Marco Polo Common Learning Project is important to improve business and competitiveness towards road. The seminar demonstrated a large need in such kind of events and...

Intermodal terminal contribute decisively to the growth of this transport segment, by supplying the physical handling at the interface rail-road-inland waterway and often by moderating the interests of the stakeholders. To enlighten this important “role in the intermodal supply chain” will be subject of our seminar for terminal managers on 02.03.2010 in Wien for which we kindly invite named managers of intermodal terminals.
Partners of the AGORA-Project which are themselves deeply involved in terminal business would like to jointly discuss the items listed in the agenda:

Frankfurt am Main, 9 November 2009. The website of the AGORA project on efficient intermodal terminals was launched during the workshop meeting in Bologna on November 9, 2009.
Managers of key intermodal terminals located throughout Europe are cooperating in this Marco Polo project to exchange how to improve their terminal operations and increase the terminal efficiency. The 14 companies in total represent about 50 inland terminal sites with an annual handling capacity of almost 5.7 million loading units (9.1 million TEU) and thus contributed to a considerable modal shift from road to rail and inland waterways.
The website contains...
