Ostrava Airport
Multimodal Park
Will Help to Move Cargo
Traffic from Roads to Railway
In June 2019 Moravian-Silesian Region Governor Ivo Vondrák and Ostrava Mayor Tomáš Macura
attended the festive opening of the first hall in the Ostrava Airport Multimodal Park logistic
centre, located next to Leoš Janáček International Airport Ostrava.
Mošnov will boast of the largest logistics centre in Central
Europe directly connected to a European motorway
and railway networks when the Ostrava Airport
Multimodal Park is finished. The first hall, with an
area of 57,133m2, has been ready for almost a year. The
total area of the multimodal park is 52ha with a plan to
provide over 234,000m2 of warehousing and production
facilities, which are going to be built in several stages. The
second hall is currently being built to offer contractors an
area of 48,864m2 from early 2020. There will be railways
sidings connecting the two greatest halls to the railway
infrastructure, with a combined-transport terminus designed
for trains up to 700 metres long, allowing for a large part of
cargo to be moved from the road to railways with ease.
Another significant event took place in September when the
Moravian-Silesian Region Government, the Statutory City
of Ostrava, the Railways Infrastructure Manager (Správa
železniční a dopravní cesty), the joint stock company
Concens Investments, and Port Antwerp signed the
Memorandum on Mutual Assistance and Cooperation.
Over 235 million tons of cargo handled in 2018 make
Antwerp the fastest growing port in Europe. The port sees
a great opportunity to enhance business relations with
the Moravian-Silesian Region and the whole of the Czech
Republic through the newly built multimodal terminus in
Mošnov. “We support railway traffic as a crucial alternative
to road transport,” said Mr Wim Dillen, representing the
company Port of Antwerp. “The Multimodal Park has the
ambition to become one of the most significant logistics
centres which support long-term sustainability.”
The developer of the project is Concens Investments,
a company focusing their activities on commercial and
industrial real estate. Mr Petr Kalina, statutory CEO of the
company, commented on the construction of the logistics
centre in Mošnov, saying, “Our decision to make the
Ostrava Airport Multimodal Park project actually
happen fully corresponds with our investments in the clear,
long-term plan to create a portfolio of premium industrial
premises with added value for prospective contractors. The
obvious added value in Mošnov is the terminus of combined
transport which is in direct connection to the warehousing
and production capacities, absolutely unique within
a Central European context.”
