Abbey has added 10 more state-of-the-art food grade tank containers to the growing intermodal fleet, as the firm looks to provide greener alternatives to road transport.
Tank containers, sometimes referred to as ISO tanks, are an ideal alternative to road tankers on international routes.
They can be transported by road rail or sea, giving customers much more flexibility and a more environmentally friendly and cost effective way of moving their bulk products.
The tanks will support movements between the UK and mainland Europe and are part of an expanding service, which includes bulk intermodal silos which are already busy in this area.
CEO Steve Granite said: “Continental Europe has long been a market place we planned to grow into.
“We are still confident that with our existing and new clients we can increase our share of the Europe-UK market. We expect to be increasing our intermodal container fleet over the coming years as we become more competitive in this market and win new business.”
