DP World in UK is taking the step of directly encouraging customers to move their imported goods off the road and onto rail. The initiative will charge a flat GBP 10.00 fee (EUR 11.6) on all import-laden containers.
Customers whose container is moved to a railhead more than 225 km from the terminal are reimbursed, and a GBP 70.00 (EUR 81.00) incentive is paid to those whose container is moved to a railhead within 225 km of the terminal.
The programme has the potential to prevent an estimated 30,000 t of carbon dioxide being emitted per year. Read more
