KONSPED INTERMODAL TASIMACILIK VE TICARET ANONIM SIRKETI
KONSPED INTERMODAL TASIMACILIK VE TICARET ANONIM SIRKETI is an Istanbul-based intermodal logistics provider focused on expanding railway transport innovations and leveraging a capable staff and modern information infrastructure. Since 1995, the company has diversified and developed combined transport services (FCL/LCL) through its affiliation with Kontinental Kargo, extending its reach beyond traditional road or single-mode operations.
The firm emphasizes rail transport as a core service, offering conventional rail transport from Turkey to Europe and across the broader Middle East region, including Syria, Iraq, and Iran, as well as to CIS countries. The network covers assignments from Turkey to Europe and the Middle East, and in the opposite direction to Turkey, demonstrating bidirectional intermodal capabilities. The service suite includes direct rail movements to major European hubs such as Germany, Benelux, Austria, Hungary, Poland, and the Balkan region, as well as route variations that involve bogie changes or transloading to CIS wagons at strategic border points.
KONSPED’s intermodal solutions are implemented through several operational models. In some cases, shipments travel directly by rail without transshipment to European or Middle Eastern destinations. In others, wagon bogies are changed to align with CIS networks, enabling seamless cross-border moves. The company also employs rail ferries that transport wagons to CIS countries via Ukraine, and utilizes container loading in Turkish ports for direct container shipments or reloading into CIS wagons at key ports such as Illichevsk or Novorossiysk. These approaches demonstrate a flexible intermodal strategy designed to optimize transit times and route efficiency while accommodating a variety of cargo types and destination networks.
Overall, KONSPED positions itself as a vanguard in railway-based logistics by combining its railway assets with established seatransport capabilities and integrated container handling. The company’s intermodal offerings are structured to support diversified routes across Europe, the Middle East, and the CIS region, leveraging partner infrastructures and dedicated knowledge of cross-border procedures to facilitate efficient, multimodal shipments.
