38th rail service launched
GB Railfreight has introduced a new rail service for Maritime Transport in UK to connect the Hutchison Ports of Felixstowe with Birch Coppice in the Midlands. The new link is the 38th daily rail service from the port and the 15th operated by GB Railfreight from Felixstowe. The intermodal service from Felixstowe meets the growing demand for more ecological transport options, Maritime said.
With three rail terminals, the port of Felixtowe has the busiest and biggest intermodal rail freight facility in the country.
The port recently placed an order for 48 battery-powered terminal tractors and 17 zero-emission remote controlled electric rubber-tyred gantry cranes. (ben)
