ABP and Solent Stevedores break ground on rail terminal upgrade

[ September 26, 2022   //   ]

Associated British Ports and Solent Stevedores are to invest £17.5m in upgrading the rail terminal at the port of Southampton.

The project will create an 18-acre facility, which will link the existing intermodal rail transport site with laden and empty container handling, storage, maintenance and repair within a single site boundary – a first for the port. Contractors, Ryebridge Construction have broken ground on the scheme, which is due for completion in late 2023

The project includes 84 reefer plug points, extending the rail loading pad by 150 metres and a new track design to allow trains arrive and depart at the terminal independently on any of the three lines.
