Growing cooperation between Port of Trieste and Slovakia

(ANSA) - TRIESTE, NOV 15 - Since 2016, when the first direct trains between the Port of Trieste and Slovakia were launched, rail traffic along this route has steadily increased, with over 400 trains operated in 2023 and approximately 27,500 TEUs handled.
    This data was highlighted today at the event "Port of Trieste - Slovakia: Economic Relations and Opportunities," held at the Lloyd Tower in Trieste. The initiative underscored the strategic role of the Central Adriatic Corridor in European geopolitics and reaffirmed the goal of reaching 500 trains on the Trieste-Slovakia route by 2025.
    The rail connection between Trieste and Slovakia's two main destinations, Dunajská Streda and Bratislava, currently offers three and two weekly rotations, respectively. Significant upgrades are planned in the coming months, as noted in Trieste.
    The aim is to reach 500 trains by 2025, tripling the volume compared to 2017, when there were approximately 150 connections.
