Etihad Rail to transport 60 million t of goods


Ethihad Rail has reached another milestone in the building of its UAE national railway network. The company has completed the construction of package A of stage two, which extends over 139 km, and its connection through Al Ghuwaifat on the border with Saudi Arabia with stage one, which extends for 264 km from Habshan to Al Ruwais.

 

The rail project is one of the UAE’s largest infrastructure initiatives. Once completed, Etihad Rail will connect vital areas in the seven Emirates via a track extending over 1,200 km.

 

In 2021, Etihad Rail was successful in reserving 40 % of the network’s annual transport capacity, which, by the completion of stage two, will amount to 60 million t of goods per year. (ben)
