The capacity expansion by 2 train round trips complements the existing frequency of currently 5 departures from Rotterdam and Basel.<\/h5>\n<p>(Basel\/Rotterdam) New to these two additional BWS round trips is that these two trains will be handled and transshipped directly at the Contargo terminal in the Rhine port of Basel Kleinh\u00fcningen.<\/p>\n<p>The new connection offers the following features:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Stable and reliable rail connection between the seaport of Rotterdam and Basel<br \/>\n\u2022 CO2-reducing, sustainable, direct rail link to the seaport terminals<br \/>\n\u2022 Easiest booking option via our web booking portal (with capacity overview)<br \/>\n\u2022 Bookings can continue to be accepted from now on<br \/>\n\u2022 High service level quality of Contargo<br \/>\n\u2022 Unchanged rates for the 2 additional trains for transport, storage, and ancillary fees<\/p>\n<p>The scheduling, whether via Basel Bad.
