Spanish fresh products now shipped to UK by rail
Maersk subsidiary Sealand is launching a new rail product from Spain to UK. The new transport option is especially tailored for Spanish fresh produce, has flexible capacity and will initially offer three weekly departures from Valencia terminal to Barking terminal in East London.
The trains will also carry non-refrigerated cargo on their southbound journey from UK back to Spain. After successful trials in September, the regular departures will start at the end of October 2022.
Over 90% of these exports are going north, resulting in up to 1,400 trucks daily crossing the northern Spanish border towards the main markets in UK, France, Benelux, Germany, and Scandinavia. (ben)
