New Terminal Manager at Wien Süd
Patrick Csobadi has managed the Terminal Wien Süd since 1 September 2026. Having previously worked as a freight forwarding coordinator, he has a thorough understanding of the processes and requirements of combined freight transport. In this role, he acted as the key liaison between operational staff and terminal management and was the main point of contact for any new issues or challenges that arose during day-to-day operations. Originally from Vienna, he was also a transport manager at an international freight forwarding company, and he referees in the Bundesliga in his spare time. We are delighted to welcome Patrick Csobadi to our management team and wish him every success in his new role.

Contaminated Site Remediation – Waste Transport via the Villach Süd Terminal
From the beginning of July 2026 and expected to continue until mid/late 2027, the K33 contaminated site (Auenpark landfill, Villach), with a total volume of around 615,500 tonnes, will be decommissioned. The waste is transported from the construction site to Villach Süd in mobile containers by lorry, where it is transferred to rail and transported via RCA’s single-consignment service to the respective disposal facilities throughout Austria. The INFRA Terminal is thus making an important contribution to the efficient and execution of this major project.

Wolfurt: work is progressing step by step
The new 24 kV supply cable has been replaced and the medium-voltage connection required to power the crane can now be established. There are many steps involved in converting to a remote control station, and all modification work on the cranes is being carried out while the terminal remains operational. The remote control mode will be active from autumn onwards. This will form the basis for further automation measures.

New gantry cranes have arrived at the Terminal Wien Süd
An important milestone has been reached: the new gantry cranes have arrived in Austria and are now being assembled on site. These large-scale installations are part of the terminal’s ongoing modernisation programme and will increase the capacity for combined transport in future. The first crane has already been installed, with the second due to follow shortly. Commissioning is scheduled for December 2026.

Visit to Wolfurt Terminal: Young visitors make a big impression
In mid-June, we welcomed pupils from Lingenau Secondary School to the terminal in Wolfurt. Accompanied by their teacher, the children gained fascinating insights into the world of terminal logistics. Equipped with high-visibility vests, they headed straight into the terminal, passing impressive rows of containers on the way. With great curiosity and enthusiasm, the young visitors explored how rail freight transport works. It was a successful morning full of new experiences, and we always love giving young guests a closer look at our world!

Commitment to safety recognised
A lorry driver showed particular vigilance at the Terminal Wolfurt: as he was walking past, he noticed liquid leaking from a container carrying hazardous goods and immediately alerted our staff. Thanks to his prompt response, the area was secured immediately and the fire brigade was called. We would like to express our sincere thanks for his dedication. At the end, it fortunately turned out that the substance was harmless and had also been loaded in the container.

Extended opening hours at Terminal Wels
We have extended the opening hours of the Unaccompanied Combined Transport (UKV) area at Terminal Wels. This is in response to current challenges, such as construction work and diversions on the German network. These changes will enable us to manage delayed train arrivals and operational delays more effectively, providing greater planning certainty. The new UKV opening hours on weekdays are: Monday–Friday, 05:00–19:30; Saturday, 05:00–17:30.

Work is currently underway to lay the tracks for the new gantry cranes and to construct the new container storage areas. Earthworks and cable installation are also proceeding according to plan. Meanwhile, at the Terminal Wolfurt, work on the drywall for the remote control station office is in full swing.

Major investments in the west
Key elements of Vorarlberg's infrastructure programme were presented at a press conference held at the Wolfurt terminal. These include expanding the terminal. Technical work on the remote operation of the cranes will begin in 2026, and a third gantry crane has already been ordered. Once the expansion is complete, the terminal's capacity will increase by 76 per cent to 454,000 TEU per year, demonstrating a clear commitment to shifting freight transport to rail and strengthening local industrial businesses.

Hapag-Lloyd has become a new depot partner at the Wels Terminal
Hapag-Lloyd has become one of the Terminal Wels new depot customers as of this week. Following Wolfurt and Wien Süd, Wels now also boasts a high-capacity empty container depot. We look forward to working together.

Transport capacity has increased
We are pleased to announce an important improvement to the transport services offered at our INFRA terminals in St. Michael and Wels. Wenzel has increased transport capacity on the Werndorf–St. Michael–Wels–Duisburg/Reinhauen route. Since the beginning of February, the train has been running five round trips per week instead of four. This increase in frequency is in response to the growing demand for combined transport. WECO Rail remains responsible as the railway transport company. The expansion creates more flexibility and strengthens the important north-south connection for the economy.

TSA carnival doughnut tradition lives on
When the smell of freshly baked pastries wafts through the INFRA terminals on Shrove Tuesday, it signals the start of the TSA's annual carnival doughnut campaign. It brings smiles to faces, sticky fingers and lots of good cheer. After all, what could be better than a fluffy doughnut filled with jam in the often hectic everyday life of a terminal? It's a small, round token of appreciation for everyone who contributes to the smooth running of operations on site every day.
