Safety - our number one priority

Safety is one of Hupac’s major priorities. The company aims at carrying out a safe and reliable transportation system, ensuring maximum safety in all its fields of activity.

 

Safety objectives

Our main safety objectives relate to the prevention of accidents in terminals and on the railway lines, the integrity of load units and smooth operation of the wagon fleet.

 

Compliance with legislation

Hupac conforms to the statutory safety provisions; if necessary, the company voluntarily implements additional measures.

 

Active management

Hupac makes available the instruments, resources and processes needed to guarantee an adequate system for safety management.

 

Focus on prevention

Hupac supports every initiative aimed at preventing safety-relevant disruptions or accidents.

 

Adequate training

Hupac's employees are adequately trained allowing them to perform their functions conscientiously and responsibly.

 

Dangerous goods

Hupac has put in place a centralised service specifically dedicated to this kind of transport, headed by a Dangerous Goods compliance advisor, appointed and trained according to the provisions of Directive 96/35/CE. 

 

Monitoring and improvement

Hupac regularly verifies the safety level in the company to identify any shortcomings and intervening in critical situations. Monitoring and controlling provide the basis for the continuous improvement process.

Safety is the result of teamwork involving collaborators, partners, customers and supervisory authorities. Hupac promotes an open, constructive dialog and supports awareness and motivation of all individuals, with the objective of creating an effective safety culture.

Hupac launches a new connection China-Poland

Hupac continues its close cooperation with the Xian City Platform. After a first successful train between Xian and Milan (Busto Arsizio) in 2019, we are now connecting the emerging Xian business region in Western China with Warsaw in Poland. Thanks to our footprint in Poland, we are able to offer a complete network with multiple ongoing connections that cover all major industry destinations in Europe.

 

The train has departed from International Port Area of Xian with 48 loading units containing mainly consumer goods. After a journey of 13 days via Kazakhstan, Russia and Belarus, the train arrived at Warsaw terminal on 18 April. The goods are destined to various markets: mainly Poland, but also Germany and Spain.

 

With this initiative, Hupac strengthens its position in the growing market of rail freight transportation between China and Europe. The new service Xian-Poland will run with weekly departures in both directions. The next departure is foreseen at the end of April/beginning of May, in respect of the re-opening of the main factories in Europe.
