On January 1st, 2023, the CFL Group, the Luxembourg National Railway Company, acquired a stake in the Luxport Group, a trimodal logistics company headquartered in Mertert, the only inland port in Luxembourg.

This structural cooperation aims to promote the synergy between the freight services offered by the two Groups, by strengthening the trimodal offer rail/road/waterway to/from the major European seaports and by jointly developing an intermodal service for shippers, benefiting from the road transport activities of Lorang S.A., subsidiary of Luxport, and from the intermodal rail activities of CFL intermodal, subsidiary of CFL multimodal, as well as from leveraging the utilization of the complementary sites of Mertert and Bettembourg-Dudelange .

CMS Luxembourg acted on the sell-side and provided comprehensive legal advice on the transaction. The Luxembourg team was comprised of Gerard Maitrejean (Partner), Miruna Poenaru (Senior Associate) and Guillaume Flagollet (Associate), all Corporate/M&A.
