DB Cargo transfers part of Transfesa Logistics to Boluda Shipping
New alliance for sustainable growth
As part of the transformation of the DB Group, DB Cargo and Boluda Shipping have reached a groundbreaking agreement: DB Cargo, the majority shareholder of Transfesa Logistics, is transferring part of the Spanish subsidiary's business activities to Boluda Shipping. The transaction is expected to be completed before the end of 2025, subject to approval by the relevant authorities.
The aim of this strategic decision is to clearly align the activities of Transfesa Logistics: in future, DB Cargo will focus more strongly on the automotive sector and international freight transport between the Iberian Peninsula and the rest of Europe.
Boluda Shipping takes over rail activities
The remaining rail-related transport and logistics services in Spain will be taken over by Boluda Shipping, a global provider of maritime and intermodal logistics with a presence in Europe, Africa and Latin America. For customers, the reorganisation means the stable continuation of all services and additional growth opportunities.
‘This agreement creates clear growth opportunities for our Spanish subsidiary and is part of DB Cargo's strategic realignment,’ explains Martina Niemann, CFO of DB Cargo AG. Idoia Galindo, CEO of Transfesa Logistics, also emphasises: ‘Transfesa's activities will continue under the umbrella of two strong groups – a solution that opens up new opportunities for sustainable development and improved services.’
Ignacio Boluda, Executive Chairman of Boluda Shipping, also emphasises: ‘With this integration, we are strengthening our door-to-door logistics solutions, promoting green corridors and driving forward the decarbonisation of supply chains.’
