Rail Record for Felixstowe

The Port of Felixstowe closed out 2003 in spectacular fashion by breaking its own record for containers transported by rail three times in three weeks. The UKs largest container port closed out its run of success in week 50, when 6,676 units were shifted by rail. This record throughput comes at a time when significant enhancements are taking place in respect of rail activities at the Port. There are now a total of 22 inbound and 21 outbound trains per day from the Ports North and South rail terminals.

The partnership company, Briggs Spilfyter, has been bolstered by NPS’ decision to exclusively supply its Spilfyter products to Briggs’ recently established base at Redcar in North Yorkshire. The new venture is now looking to build up a network of specialist distributors who already supply clients in the use and transportation of oil and hazardous liquid.
