The modern logistics terminal with private sidings near the Bulgarian capital of Sofia is starting operation in the beginning of March. The ten-million euros center is situated in Bozhuriste, close to the international road link between Sofia and Belgrade and just 20 minutes from the center of the capital.

The logistics terminal of DB Schenker is one of Bulgaria’s most modern freight hubs.
It has 3000 square meters logistics area with ten meters height, 2000 square meters cross-docking hall, both having 30 loading bays with hydraulic ramps. The buildings are equipped with state-of-the-art security technology and fire safety systems. An office complex covering roughly 3500 square meters is built next to the center.

The terminal has two private sidings with a total length of approximately 220 meters. A ramp will enable five four-axle cars to be processed simultaneously. Up to six cars can be loaded and unloaded on the other track. “In our region, we are relying increasingly on railports – terminals where we can implement intermodal solutions that are profitable for our customers,” stressed Elmar Wieland, Chairman of Schenker & Co AG, Vienna, responsible for activities in Bulgaria.
“Our Sofia site will open up new business opportunities thanks to its location and equipment,” said Helmut Schweighofer, Managing Director of DB Schenker in the country. Opportunities will be opened up both for national distribution within Bulgaria and for transportation to and from Bulgaria since the Sofia terminal will be fully integrated into DB Schenker's European network.
