Helsinki – September 7, 2026 -- Nurminen Logistics will add a second weekly departure to its Sweden–Italy block train service starting the first week of October 2026, doubling capacity on the route launched earlier this year.
Second weekly departure cuts waiting times on Parma-Örebro corridor
The block train connects the Castelguelfo terminal near Parma in northern Italy with the Frövi terminal in Örebro County, central Sweden, with a rail transit time of approximately 2.5 to 3 days. The added frequency is designed to reduce waiting times and improve delivery predictability for shippers moving freight between Southern Europe and the Nordic region.
Expanded wagon fleet enables dangerous goods transport
Nurminen Logistics will deploy a more versatile wagon fleet alongside the added departure, increasing flexibility to accommodate a wider range of container types and enabling the transport of dangerous goods on the route.
Service bundles rail, terminal operations and documentation under single contact
The Sweden–Italy offering is a fully integrated logistics solution: Nurminen Logistics manages first- and last-mile transportation, terminal operations and all required transport documentation, giving customers a single point of contact for door-to-door delivery. The Parma and Frövi terminals provide access to major industrial regions, logistics hubs and ports, supporting onward deliveries across Italy, Sweden and beyond through the company's broader transport network.
"The second weekly departure gives customers more capacity and flexibility in planning their supply chains. More frequent departures reduce waiting times, support smoother connections to road and maritime transport, and improve delivery predictability," said Marjut Linnajärvi, VP, International Rail Operations and Sales at Nurminen Logistics.
