KTL Kombi-Terminal Ludwigshafen GmbH

KTL Kombi-Terminal Ludwigshafen GmbH operates a large inland terminal focused on road–rail transshipment (combined transport). The business combines terminal handling (loading unit transshipment, storage, labeling, documentation), trucking (pre- and post-carriage), storage of hazardous materials, and agency/technical services for CT-Operators. Revenue streams arise from terminal handling charges, storage fees (including hazardous materials), trucking services, and agency services that manage scheduling, document creation and process optimization for rail operators. The company is a hub-centric logistics platform with deep BASF involvement and a network of strategic shareholders. It emphasizes high throughput (flow process with continuous track occupancy), IT-enabled operations, safety/compliance (SQAS, ISOPA), and sustainability (electric equipment, photovoltaic system, LED lighting). The shareholder base and customer mix position KTL as a key intermodal gateway for Europe, particularly for BASF’s logistics ecosystem.
