Rail Baltic to look for best solution for building Estonia's Muuga terminal
Rail Baltic announced
a tender to find the most cost-effective and realistic solution. An analysis
should find out what are two alternative solutions for the terminal's location,
technical ability and functionality, it is written in the tender announcement.
A multimodal terminal is a building,
construction or a complex which services with different means of
transportation, including with road, railway and sea transport vehicles.
The first scenario includes joining Rail
Baltic railway with a gauge width of 1,435 mm with the 1,520 mm railway on the
territory of Muuga port, which would result in major changes in the existing
logistics solutions.
According to the second scenario the whole
infrastructure of the port would be reconstructed.
Muuga port is Estonia's biggest cargo port
which is specialized on transit goods. Rail
Baltic OU is a company which coordinates creating the railway on the
Estonian side.
