“Levada Cargo,” a member of the “Lemtrans” transportation and logistics group, announced the completion of an agreement to acquire a minority stake in the Eurobridge Intermodal Terminal (Batyevo village, Zakarpattia Oblast), whose majority partner is the German corporation Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA International), the company said in a press release.
Levada Cargo noted that the investment amount and other details of the agreement are not being disclosed by mutual agreement of the parties.
Philip Swins, Managing Director of HHLA International GmbH, noted that the partnership with Levada Cargo will strengthen the regional logistics hub and contribute to the development of transport links between Ukraine and European markets.
According to him, this agreement will expand and strengthen HHLA’s partner network, creating new opportunities for integrated logistics solutions.
For his part, Vladimir Demenko, CEO of Levada Cargo, emphasized that the partnership with HHLA is an important step in the development of the company’s terminal network.
“This investment will provide customers with maximum flexibility, efficiency, and reliability of transportation both domestically and on international routes,” Demenko noted.
Currently, the Levada Cargo network operates its own “Vinnytsia” container terminal, as well as partner projects: the “Fastiv” and “Mostyska” container terminals.
The Eurobridge Intermodal Terminal is located near the “Chop” and “Solovka” border crossings, which connect Ukraine, Hungary, Slovakia, and Romania, and is equipped with both European narrow gauge (1,435 mm) and Ukrainian broad gauge (1,520 mm) tracks.
In August 2025, the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMCU) authorized the German company HHLA to acquire Eurobridge Intermodal Terminal LLC (Batyevo village).
Levada Cargo was founded in 2012 and is part of the “Lemtrans” group, which is a subsidiary of SCM. The company specializes in multimodal rail transportation in Ukraine and the European Union.
As reported, the Lemtrans Group’s rail freight volume in 2025 exceeded 16.2 million metric tons of various types of cargo, compared to 15.9 million metric tons in 2024.
In September 2025, it was reported that the Lemtrans Group (Kyiv), in partnership with Rail Trans Investment (Odesa), had completed the first phase of construction of the Fastiv Container Terminal, with approximately $7 million invested in the initial phase. As part of the project, two new rail tracks and a container yard capable of storing up to 1,350 TEU were fully equipped. At the time, the company noted that, in accordance with its growth strategy, the terminal’s throughput capacity is expected to reach 55,000 TEU.
