RailSail: Details of a proposed new service were outlined by XPO Logistics at the latest Irish Exporters Association Western Council roundtable webinar.

As Western People reports, Ballina Beverages – which is a long-standing client of XPO Logistics – will be the main user of the proposed new sustainable service which will help transport the company’s soft drinks concentrate to global markets.

Ballina Beverages prioritises eco-friendly logistics and rail freight is the ideal solution for its transport requirements in that respect.

Through XPO, the freight movement from Ballina to (Belview) the port of Waterford will then be transferred to Rotterdam Port by ferry and further multi-modal transport to world markets.

XPO has been working on the new freight project with Irish Rail since arriving in Ireland.
