The Port of Felixstowe last week set a new record for the number of rail freight containers handled in a week. 11,474 containers were handled in one week, after three weeks of record-breaking rail movements at the UK’s largest container port.
An all-new third rail terminal has been under construction since March 2012. The new North Rail Terminal is designed to handle 30-wagon long freight trains, each capable of carrying 90 TEU (twenty foot equivalent containers).
