From the purchase of the first ship, MV Patricia, in 1970 to the attainment of a global leader in maritime transport – the history of the MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company is a clear example of dynamic development and consistently implemented strategy. The MSC branch, which has been present in Poland for over 28 years, provides door-to-door support throughout the supply chain, complementing its basic ocean services with intermodal connections and logistics services, showing that Poland is becoming an increasingly important part of its European network.

Building sustainable and resilient supply chains

At MSC Poland, we support customers in building supply chains that are more environmentally friendly, resilient and efficient. With intermodal transport, route optimisation and careful selection of means of transport, our teams help customers reduce emissions while maintaining high operational standards and service reliability.

Closely cooperating with clients throughout Poland, our experts design practical logistics solutions tailored to specific business needs. Intermodal transport, and especially rail transport, plays a key role in this approach. Compared to road transport, the railway generates significantly lower CO2 emissions per tonne-kilometre and can replace dozens of trucks in key transport corridors, helping to reduce emissions, fuel consumption and traffic jams.

The railway also promotes greater stability and predictability of the supply chain. Because it is largely powered by electricity, it is less exposed to fuel price fluctuations, which provides customers with greater cost stability, operational resilience and greater confidence in long-term transport planning.

Main Connections:

  • by Sławków – service of Upper Silesia and Małopolska
  • by Kąty Wrocławskie – service of Lower Silesia
  • by Dębica – service of the Podkarpacie region

An important element of the development of our intermodal solutions in Poland is the service by Dębica, which has been successfully operating for over a year. It is an effective solution for customers looking for stable and reliable connections. Thanks to the strategic location of the terminal in Dębica, it is possible to smoothly integrate maritime and rail transport.

“The intermodal service by Dębica is our youngest project, created in response to the real needs of the market. From the very beginning, we have been developing it in close cooperation with customers, creating tailor-made solutions with a high degree of operational flexibility. It is a well-thought-out undertaking that combines sustainable development with real business value.” — Joanna Niewiadomska, Intermodal Sales, MSC Poland
