Bridging rail & road
Kouvola RRT is a modern inter & multimodal terminal area that serves equally the growing needs of national and international cargo traffic.
The futureproof inter & multimodal terminal enables the efficient loading of even extra-long trains (1,100 m) as well as the accompanying services for feeder and distribution traffic. As the terminal kicks off, Kouvola Region will fortify its position as a dependable, safe, cost-effective and smart logistics solution for Europe–Asia traffic as well as Finland’s domestic transport.
Administered by Railgate Finland, Rail & Road Terminal functions under ‘open access’ principles where connections, capacity and services are equally accessible for all operators.

In addition to containers, the terminal can handle various units in accordance to container standard such as load platforms (with load), tank containers, freezer containers, classified substance containers, hazardous materials/IMO label containers, trailers, trucks (with hazmat transport). As rail cargo, one can manage also vehicles, work equipment, construction machinery and various project loads.

Handling liquid containers
The hazardous materials / IMO units handled in the R&R terminal are unloaded or loaded via the dock area to the first load zone, from which the majority of units continue their journey to the customer within two days.
According to plans, the northeast section of the terminal will feature an IMO field where those units that will remain in the terminal for a longer period of time can be conveniently stored.

Railgate Finland main gate area
There are three gates to Kouvola RRT area, with the main gate – located on the west side of the terminal – being the most dominant. In fact, the main gate is the functional centre of the terminal with all the services featured in the gate building.
The side gate is meant for the traffic of the regular clients and, when necessary, for moving machinery between RR terminal and logistics area. Located between these two, on the north side of the terminal, there is the machinery gate and route that machinery primarily takes between logistics area and RR terminal.

The only Finnish inland R&R terminal in TEN-T
Kouvola RRT is part of Kouvola’s logistics package which is integrated into EU’s TEN-T core network – as the only inland R&R terminal in Finland. TEN-T (Trans European Network) covers all modes of transport: air, sea, rail and road as well as the linking ports, airports, terminal and border crossings. Kouvola’s current position as a powerful expertise and operations cluster of railway logistics relies on the region’s distinguished role in the supply chain networks of both North Europe and the Far East.
