Maersk to launch dry port services at Hungary’s EWG terminal
March 12, 2026 - By Margherita Bruno
Intermodal logistics in Eastern Hungary is set to expand following a cooperation agreement between East-West Intermodal Logistics Plc. (EWG) and A.P. Moller – Maersk.
The partnership was formally presented during a ceremony at the EWG intermodal terminal in Fényeslitke, where representatives of both companies signed a long-term agreement covering container depot and dry port services at the site.
Under the arrangement, Maersk will establish a dry port operation at the terminal. The concept involves relocating certain functions traditionally carried out at seaports to an inland terminal, allowing the facility to operate as an integrated part of a shipping line’s logistics network.

Preparations for the project began in 2025, with operational planning and risk assessments carried out in the months leading up to the agreement.
Roman Vinar, CEO of East-West Intermodal Logistics Plc, said: “This cooperation marks an important milestone for EWG and clearly demonstrates that the Fényeslitke terminal is well positioned to serve as a key node in global logistics networks in the long term.”
Andrea Ordody, Hungary Sales and Country Manager at Maersk, added: “EWG plays an important role in strengthening our regional inland network and in connecting our customers’ logistics flows more efficiently. We believe that EWG will open new opportunities in the region.”
The Fényeslitke terminal is located at the intersection of key road and rail routes and forms part of the TEN-T European transport network as well as rail routes associated with the Middle Corridor.
This positioning enables connections to neighbouring countries and access to major transit routes in Eastern Hungary.

Container traffic linked to the partnership has already begun. The first export train arrived at the terminal in February 2026, with rail connections currently operating in line with market demand while the companies work towards establishing regular services.
According to the partners, the cooperation will integrate EWG more closely into Maersk’s Central and Eastern European logistics network and support the development of cargo flows between the region and global trade routes.
