The customers' supply chains will be more robust due to introduction of a new intermodal train service connecting DP World's container terminals in London Gateway and Southampton. This service will also enable the customers to switch volumes between the two UK locations quickly and easily.

The DP World service, which sailed for the first time during the past weekend, is now slated to run every Saturday and will transport cargo such as fresh produce, drinks, and consumer items in less than five hours. The railway eliminates the need for as many as 120 tractor-trailers to make the same trip each week, reducing carbon emissions by up to 80%.

DP World intends to speed up the train by increasing its frequency the following year. Together with other recent and ongoing improvements in rail connection at both ports, this will reduce highway congestion, resulting in the removal of a total of 300,000 trucks from the roads of the United Kingdom annually.

According to John Trenchard, who serves as the UK Commercial and Supply Chain Director for DP World, the company is unique in providing clients with a choice of deep-water entrance and departure locations to and from the UK. Our clients will have additional freedom and choice due to this new train service since it will make it even simpler and quicker for them to swap volumes quickly and simply between the two sites.

"As a result of the turmoil of recent years, transport companies and cargo owners are exploring means of increasing capacity, ensuring reliability, and fostering expansion. Trenchard said, "We are supplying it, which enables our clients to transport products easily and effectively in and out of the UK and throughout their supply chains."

DP World, which manages ports, terminals, and businesses related to logistics on six continents, runs the most advanced logistics hubs in the United Kingdom at London Gateway and Southampton. These are two deep-water ports with access to freight rail terminals and a rapidly expanding logistics park on the capital's outskirts. They carried a record volume of cargo between them in the first half of the year, with a combined total of 1.93 million TEU moving through the supply chain.

The beginning of building on the new fourth berth at London Gateway, which will cost £350 million and open in 2024, was announced by DP World a month ago. This berth will increase capacity by a third when it finally opens its doors. The building project is now responsible for the maintenance of 1,000 jobs, and after it is finished in five years, the port-centric logistics park will employ an additional 12,000 individuals.

The corporation also plans to invest an additional one billion pounds in the UK over the upcoming decade.
