MEDLOG have started their operation of iPort Rail at the multimodal freight terminal in Doncaster, running services across the UK.
A new intermodal train service directly from the Port of Immingham to iPort Rail in Doncaster has been launched, helping to ease the pressures of the current HGV driver shortage by having the capacity to move 80 containers a day by rail.
By gaining approval for the customs area, iPort Rail, the Strategic Rail Freight Interchange in Doncaster, can now offer a faster and more sustainable import and export service.
It is the fifth service launched within a 13-month period, and will be operated by GB Railfreight from iPort Doncaster to Felixstowe.
The UK’s Innovation Agency, Innovate UK and the Department for Transport’s SBRI have awarded funding to HiveLOGIC Limited to provide a digital solution to help transform rail freight logistics.
The UK currently has a national rail infrastructure pipeline worth £88 billion, which is the greatest investment in the sector in over a century. As a result of these unprecedented levels of investment, significant opportunities exist for investors to support and add value to the rail supply-chain.
iPort connects to the electrified East Coast Main Line and is located next to the M18, close to Doncaster Sheffield Airport, within two hours of the deep-water ports.
