Deutsche Bahn To Invest EUR19m In Coal Island
Deutsche Bahn, a provider of transport and logistics services, said that it will invest around EUR19m by 2014 in the expansion and enhancement of transshipment and storage capacity on Duisburg’s Coal Island.
According to Deutsche Bahn, Coal Island's annual capacity is expected to be expanded to 4.5 million tons by the end of 2014. Until then, the capacity available for import of goods by barge from Port of Rotterdam is expected to increase twice the original capacity.
In addition, all the technical facilities on Coal Island are linked together to provide a combination of loading and unloading, storage and mixing coal to meet customers’ requirements. The investment will allow the company to produce efficient blends in its own stacker reclaimer facility.
Karl-Friedrich Rausch, member of management board at DB Mobility Logistics, said: “With this investment, in view of the increase in demand for imported coal, DB Schenker Rail Deutschland and its wholly-owned subsidiary RBH Logistics are making a major contribution in the Port of Duisburg to providing power plants with a long-term stable supply.”
