Financial incentive for shifting cargo to rail
DP World has launched a new programme in the UK to help cargo owners reduce their carbon emissions. The company is offering a financial incentive to move imported goods off the road and onto rail.
The incentive will be paid for by a relatively small charge on all import laden containers coming through DP World Southampton, DP World said.
Under the scheme, customers whose import-laden containers are moved by rail to a railhead within 225 km of DP World Southampton will receive a GBP 70 (EUR 82) incentive. Containers that are moved by rail to a railhead more than 225 km from DP World Southampton will be reimbursed the GPB 10 (EUR 12) fee on each container. (ben)
