METRANS Deutschland, the rail subsidiary of HHLA, and the city of Hamm have signed a memorandum of understanding under which METRANS is to take a 27% stake in the city's development agency EANG. The partners intend to develop the former marshalling yard into the Multi Hub Westfalen, an intermodal terminal linked to rail, road and inland waterway; METRANS sees Hamm as the western hub of its European network. The city council can approve the change of shareholders at its inaugural meeting on 3 November; no purchase price is disclosed. (LOK Report, 27 Oct 2025)
