Together on track

The Atlantic Rail Freight Corridor is a rail line connecting Portugal, Spain, France and Germany, a main artery of the European railway network that connects 25 countries within 11 rail freight corridors.

MISSION

In this flow we carry a mission - to connect all stakeholders, transport market, and services through seamless international rail freight transportation. It is cooperation in movement, it is a commitment to bring together and reduce the time and distance between you, your cargo, your destination and your goals.

 

Our partnership guarantees a centralised management of capacity allocation, international traffic management and a One Stop Shop approach to customer relationship. Together we move forward with the modal rail freight transportation share, pushing for more capacity, higher performance, better information and full transparency.

Our work is one of convergence, making the Rail Freight Transportation more competitive and sustainable, flowing in the same direction as the Common Market, bringing all our stakeholders together on track.

The mission of the Atlantic Corridor principally covers the management of existing rail infrastructures, through centralized management of capacity allocation, traffic management and customer relationship.
Subsequently, the Atlantic Corridor also works as a coordination platform between Portugal, Spain, France and Germany concerning the investments in infrastructure, overcoming technical and operational barriers, promoting interoperability, contingency management for increasing the competitiveness of rail freight.
