DB Cargo UK in port of Southampton


Associated British Ports (ABP) has invested GBP 300,000 (EUR 342,000) in a new rail service at the port of Southampton.

 

This is the first automotive service to operate in the Western Docks, as ABP expands its rail offer at the port to include both the Eastern and Western Dock locations. Southampton is the UK’s number one port for automotive, handling around 900,000 vehicles a year. Together with railfreight operator DB Cargo UK, ABP will now move around 600 to 800 new BMW Minis each week by rail.

 

DB Cargo UK’s head of sales, Roger Neary, said: “Utilising our fleet of specialised wagons, we currently operate finished vehicle rail movements throughout the UK, as well as international services for automotive components.” (ben)
