P&O Ferries books 14% more train freight in first half year

After P&O Ferries previously proclaimed that it shipped more freight than ever across the Channel in the first half of the year, figures on individual traffic volumes are now hitting the news. Interestingly, rail freight volumes at its Zeebrugge and Europoort hubs advanced by 14%. Between January and June, the shipping and logistics group handled 42,421 freight units by rail between these continental hubs and the English east coast. Broken down, this involved 30,154 freight units in Zeebrugge and 12,087 in Rotterdam-Europoort.
