Tonnes of sea-dredged products by rail
Railfreight operator DB Cargo UK has signed a new ten-year contract with Brett Aggregates, the largest independent producer of sand and gravel in the UK.
The contract will see the carrier move millions of tonnes of sea-dredged products every year from Brett’s marine aggregates terminals in Ipswich, Cliffe and Newhaven.
The product will be transported primarily for use in the construction sector. The new contract further cemented the company’s relationship with Brett, the rail company said.
One example of this cooperation was DB Cargo UK’s recent work with Brett and Network Rail, which saw the first freight train in almost 25 years transport product out of Newhaven Port. (ben)
