Deal signed to build Rail Terminal at Jebel Ali Port
Dubai : 9-May-2012
Etihad Rail will build an intermodal rail terminal in Jebel Ali port for the efficient transfer of freight. Etihad Rail, which is developing the railway network in the country, and DP World have signed a MoU in this regard, which represents a significant step forward in development of the rail network, as it will enable more efficient transfer of containerised freight. DP World has already earmarked a strategic potential plot for the intermodal rail terminal, adjacent to Jebel Ali Maritime Terminal 1 and close to Terminal 2. The team at DP World will oversee the building and operation of loading and unloading facilities at the rail terminal, while Etihad Rail will construct and own the railway infrastructure and manage the rail services to and from the terminal.
