Metrans, the rail subsidiary of HHLA, has expanded its European network by acquiring 100% ownership of Adria Rail Group, operating in Serbia and Croatia. Adria Rail provides rail transport services from the Adriatic region to Central and South-Eastern Europe, covering 70% of container transport to and from Serbia via Croatia.
Previously owning 51% of Adria Rail Group since March 2023, Metrans has now acquired full ownership. Metrans' European network spans the North Sea, Baltic Sea, Adriatic, and Black Sea, with over 650 regular rail connections per week.
Metrans' commitment to climate protection includes investments in modern electric locomotives, green electricity, and electric cranes at inland terminals, aligning with HHLA Group's aim for climate-neutral production by 2040.
