Mason Mega Rail Terminal to open this year
In the USA, Savannah Port Terminal Railroad (SAPT) has expanded its long-term rail services agreement with the Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) to include GPA’s new Mason Mega Rail Terminal.
This is especially significant, as rail container capacity at the port is expected to double to two million teu per year with the completion of the Mason Mega Rail project later this year.
SAPT currently operates 24/7 around 30 km of track inside the port, which is increasing by an additional 24 km serving the Mega Rail Terminal.
When completed, the new terminal will have the ability to build and receive six 3,050 m trains simultaneously and cut transit times to the Midwest by 24 hours. (ben)
