More and more bulk ferrous metal by rail
Metal recycling and waste management specialist Ward has opened a new rail-connected, metal processing facility at DB Cargo UK’s site at Barking in East London. It will facilitate the movement of bulk material from the south of England to the company's other hubs in the country for processing and onward export.
The site in Barking is a long-term partnership with DB Cargo UK. Enabling Ward to move bulk ferrous metal by rail, the site eventually aims to transport a number of trains each month, each carrying over 1,000 t of material on each movement, DB Cargo said.
The new hub is part of Ward’s broader sustainability plans to reduce road cargo and shift bulk material to rail wherever it is feasible. (ben)
