Launched amid much fanfare, the new scheduled service significantly cuts transit times and improves reliability and freight volumes on the established land-sea corridor.
The launch marks the arrival of the first in a fleet of thirty units developed with rolling stock manufacturer Stadler and leasing partner Beacon Rail.
The offer is aimed at encouraging logistics operators and industry partners to invest in rail-based operations as part of broader efforts to promote modal shift.
WorldCargo News has seen comments suggesting Spanish energy company Repsol is the client. ASCO says the deal helps reinforce its position as the leading logistics provider to the energy industry.
