Container Terminals
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what volume of traffic from new deep sea container terminals is required to be moved by rail; and how many planning applications for new container terminals are being considered with a view to achieving that volume.
- Answer
-
The extent to which container traffic can be moved by rail for a given port development has to be considered on a case by case basis according to the nature and level of traffic through the port. All of the current planning applications with my Department are being considered on the basis of the rail market share submitted in those applications.
