Freight Transport

Maritime Transport has become the new operator of the Riverside Rail Terminal at Tilbury, marking Maritime's first step into rail terminal operations

The move is part of a wider plan to develop rail-connected operations at strategic locations around the UK to encourage more intermodal transport

Maritime has taken over the existing rail contracts and aims to increase train throughput by bringing new services to the terminal

The four-acre Tilbury Railport is an established and proven common-user facility Unlike the other rail terminals at the London port, Tilbury Railport offers open access to all train operators for any type of unitised traffic

The facility can accommodate two full trains at any one time, and Maritime plans to run the facility 24 hours a day, six days a week

As well as providing train loading/unloading services, under Maritime, Tilbury Railport also offers secure, flexible, off-dock loaded and empty container storage
