Felixstowe to double rail capacity

Qube commenced “normal automated operations” at the import/export terminal (IMEX) of the new Moorebank rail facility near Sydney in May and June this year.

Five more automated RTGs have arrived at Hutchison Ports’ Port of Felixstowe from a series of 17 ordered from Konecranes.

GB Railfreight launched a second daily service between Felixstowe and Widnes, increasing to 11 weekly trains, and reducing road congestion by 500 trucks.

The global IT outage affected various sectors, including the Port of Felixstowe, Maersk, Baltic Hub, and certain companies within the Port of Rotterdam.

Felixstowe faces at least a week of disruption after an inbound train derailed, causing significant infrastructure damage.

The MSC Lorenza, with a draft of 17.0m, is the deepest vessel to arrive at the Port of Felixstowe, delivering 5,000 import containers.
