Teesport to Scotland intermodal service
DB Schenker Rail UK has collaborated with PD Ports in a new offering for the market, believed to be the first time that a rail freight company has partnered directly with a port to serve the Intermodal sector.
From Monday 3rd August DB Schenker Rail UK will run a direct daily service (Monday to Friday) from the PD Ports owned Teesport in Middlesbrough to Mossend and Grangemouth in Scotland. The onward leg to Grangemouth from Mossend has been enabled through close collaboration with WH Malcolm’s. The service will transport containerised traffic.
“This new service operated by DB Schenker Rail UK will allow us to further develop Teesport’s connections with Scotland and enhance the Port’s transport infrastructure network to the benefit of shipping lines and intermodal customers. It will also provide daily links to European roll on- roll off (ro-ro) and load on- load off (lo-lo) services,” said Geoff Lippitt, PD Ports’ business development director.
