MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company and Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane, Italy's state-owned national railway company, are forming a joint venture to enhance intermodal sea and rail transport from Italy's ports, connecting to Europe's railway network. The collaboration aims to reduce road transportation for cargo, contributing to emissions reduction. The partnership, with MSC's subsidiary MEDLOG and Mercitalia Logistics, FS Italiane Group’s Logistics Business Division, will establish a new company focusing on developing maritime intermodal traffic, building terminals, and providing competitive alternatives to road transport. This initiative aligns with the shared mission of supporting the Italian economy through increased rail mobility and marks another strategic step in MSC's terminal, intermodal, and rail investments.
