Intermodality
Thanks to its geo-strategic location and high-quality infrastructure, Interporto di Trieste offers efficient multimodal transport, combining road, rail, and dockside operations. This triple integration — linking motorway, railway (directly connected to the terminal), and the nearby Port of Trieste — supports an integrated interchange and strengthens its role as a hinterland logistics hub.
The group's infrastructure

Intermodal StructuresIntermodali
The ‘Giacomo Borruso’ Terminal is equipped with two groups of three tracks—located in the yard and on the platform—linked via a dedicated railway siding to the Villa Opicina station. This station is connected to the Port of Trieste and the Sežana station, providing access to Slovenia and Eastern Europe. The company actively promotes various rail transport solutions, including the development of intermodal trains.
The ‘FREEeste’ Terminal features three tracks, two of which are up to 450 metres in length, and one capable of accommodating trains up to 750 metres. This terminal is also directly connected to the railway network, with routes leading to the Port of Trieste, thereby enabling the development of a range of intermodal transport options.
Both sites benefit from direct access to the A4 motorway, which crosses northern Italy, as well as connections to the Slovenian motorway network and the SS202 highway, facilitating transport links to the Balkans and Eastern Europe.
