On 1 September 2025, Contargo will introduce a new intermodal rail service between Duisburg and Dourges.

The Duisburg Dourges Shuttle (DDS) will connect the Duisburg Intermodal Terminal (DIT) in Germany with the Lille Dourges Conteneur Terminal (LDCT) in France.

The DDS of Contargo will operate three round trips per week. Departures from DIT are scheduled every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with a container acceptance deadline of 16:00. Containers arrive at LDCT the following day—Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday—available for collection from 09:00.

In the opposite direction, acceptance at LDCT closes at 15:00 on Tuesday and Thursday, and at 12:00 on Saturday. Containers become available at DIT from 07:30 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
