Rail

The railway line No. 2, which is a part of the international E20 line, which is part of the 2nd Pan-European West-East Transport Corridor, connecting Berlin with Moscow, runs through the Lubelskie Voivodeship. The location of stops along the route, not only for passengers but also for goods, in the area of ​​the Biała Podlaska poviat is of significant importance for the region. Due to the high importance of the line, it was covered by the "European Agreement on Main International Railway Lines" and the European Agreement on Major Combined Transport Lines and Accompanying Facilities, thanks to which Poland committed itself to the rapid modernization of this route.

Seeing prospects for the development of international transport, the region has a perfectly functioning border crossing point Małaszewicze, covering an area of ​​over 166 ha. It serves as a transhipment port of international importance. The specificity of this crossing is the possibility of reloading goods through the interaction of two transport systems with different track gauges: European (standard-gauge) 1.435 mm and Asian (wide-gauge) 1.520 mm. This is of great importance for the investor, who thus has an easier exchange of goods with eastern markets. Dry Port Kolejowy in Małaszewicze breaks records for accepting cargo deliveries from Asia. It is here that the Logistics Park is to be built, which will ultimately be the most modern and largest transshipment hub in Europe.

Parameters of the Lublin Container Terminal:

• 25,000 m2 of operating area
• 2,500 TEU of storage area
• 1 railway track 600 m
• 1 reachstacker with a capacity of 45,000 kgs

An important railway line in the voivodeship is line no. 7 running on the route: Warszawa Wschodnia - Otwock - Dęblin - Lublin - Chełm - Dorohusk (the state border with Ukraine).

 

Lublin has direct rail connections with almost all regions of the country, and thanks to the continuous modernization of the railway infrastructure and the replacement of rolling stock, the journey time to the capital of the country is to be up to 90 minutes.

The Lublin Agglomeration Railway is to increase access to railways for the region's inhabitants. PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A. signed an agreement with the Lublin self-government regarding the development of railway connections within the Lublin Agglomeration Railway. The cooperation is to result in a program and spatial concept leading to the construction of new stops and railway lines. The platforms will be adapted to the needs of people with reduced mobility. In addition to the stops, it will be possible to create transfer nodes - integrating railways with other means of public transport. Construction works are scheduled for 2021–2027.

According to forecasts, the railway transport accessibility of the Lubelskie Voivodeship will increase significantly thanks to investments from the OPI & E and the ROP. Therefore, the attractiveness of the Lublin region in terms of transport should increase by nearly 36% by 2023.

Terminal in Małaszewicze - Duty Free Zone

The terminal in Małaszewicze covers an area of ​​over 166 ha. It is the largest duty free area in Poland. It is located 5 km from the border with Belarus, which means it is situated on the main transit route connecting the European Union and Russia. Thanks to the establishment of a free zone, international trade and cargo handling in transit are facilitated. All forms of activity, except for retail trade, are allowed on the premises of the WOC.

 

Dry PKP Reloading Point in Małaszewicze

In the vicinity of the duty free area there is a transshipment port of international importance. In the port, goods are transhipped from broad-gauge rolling stock to standard-gauge rolling stock. It is here that the Logistics Park is to be built, which will ultimately be the most modern and largest transshipment node in Europe. It is a key place on the New Silk Road linking Asia with the Old Continent. It is here that European recipients will receive and will be sent in increasing numbers, loads transported by rail from China, Japan or South Korea. Małaszewicze is also a gateway to the East for European exporters. This may benefit not only the region, but also Poland. The investment is part of a wider plan to create a Central Communication Port near Warsaw.
