Solent rail terminal opened
The new terminal augments the rail facilities at the Port of Southampton, (UK), and took 18 months to build. The opening of the hub marks the completion of the GBP 17.5 million (EUR 20.4 million) partnership investment between Associated British Ports (ABP) and Solent Stevedores.
The 73,000 sqm facility features a newly designed track layout which enables simultaneous train arrival and departures and extends the rail loading pad by 130 m.
The larger intermodal site includes container storage with full maintenance and repair facilities and will be able to handle a 71% increase in daily services with a 125% rise in the number of containers processed. (ben)
