Danish ferry and logistics company DFDS (CPH:DFDS) on Tuesday pledged to invest EUR 1 billion (USD 1.08bn) in battery electric vessels as part of a wider commitment to decarbonising maritime traffic in the English Channel. The plan involves the deployment of six battery electric ships on the Dunkirk-Dover and Calais-Dover routes to carry passengers and freight between the UK and the European Union, the shipping company said. The first two electric vessels are expected to be in operation by the end of the decade and the rest will follow before 2035. “This is an important step towards decarbonising cross-Channel transport. Because of the relatively short distance between the UK and France, the routes are optimal for electric ferry transport,” said Torben Carlsen, CEO of DFDS. The initiative was announced following a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between DFDS and the Port of Dover, the Port of Boulogne Calais and the Port of Dunkirk. The pact aimed to facilitate the parties’ collaboration to decarbonise maritime traffic in the Straits of Dover. DFDS said it is working closely with national authorities, infrastructure partners and energy suppliers to secure the energy supply and infrastructure for electric ships, adding that ambitions are in place on both sides of the Channel to enable green transport corridors. #electricvessels #decarbonisation https://lnkd.in/dP2KBhpi

The RSG’s Work Pipeline Visibility Charter, signed by over 350 companies, highlighted the importance of supply chain collaboration. One of the biggest challenges faced by lower-tier suppliers when a project is in-flight is a lack of work pipeline visibility when project plans change. The earlier the supply chain has visibility of the latest plans and changes - the easier it is for them to replan - and better plans benefit every tier in the supply chain. #workpipelinevisibilitycharter #workpipelinevisibility #supplychainengagement #projectplanning Railway Industry Association Railforum Rail Freight Group

America's Green Gateway is moving forward! #POLB's Pier B On-Dock Rail Support Facility will enhance on-dock rail capacity, speed cargo movement and strengthen the Port’s competitiveness. By allowing longer trains to be assembled with greater frequency, the project will dramatically streamline rail operations and minimize the increase in truck trips as cargo volume grows. #LeadingGreen #GPP2025 https://ow.ly/g2VV50UOhpo

We are excited to begin 2025 by announcing our initial investments in inland waterway transport. This includes acquiring a fleet of eight freight river barges to supplement our existing fleet of European freight wagons. This initiative further demonstrates our commitment to promoting the sustainable evolution of Europe's transport infrastructure.

As we look ahead to the future of rail in the UK, there’s a critical need to address the slow start of CP7 and the challenges it poses in delivering much-needed infrastructure improvements. While CP7 is designed to enhance the rail network for the next five years, delays in its early stages have raised questions on how we’ll meet growing demands, especially when it comes to backdated maintenance and ambitious modernisation plans. Our blog gives insight on the freight demand and how it continues to climb, the rail network's capacity will be put to the test. With an emphasis on decarbonisation and shifting freight from roads to rail. But where will the track access come from to ensure the correct upgrades to the p-way, signaling systems (aside from the T190plus), OLE, and stations come from? could we see integration meetings on a large scale as we did on crossrail delivered by our MD Steve Huckle and his team, Are we going to see overcrowding in our Possessions/ES worksite Martin Benson? and with the lack of machine access points will we see more labour on sites reflecting "the good old days" something Mr Wade would love to see! With our current advancement in technology would there be a saferway to undertake and reintroduce red zone working? please share and comment! #rail #possessions #maintenance #RSG
