Etihad Rail, the developer and operator of the UAE’s national railway network, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Transworld Logistics, a multi-faceted shipping and logistics company.
The agreement will provide Transworld Logistics – part of the UAE-based global conglomerate Transworld Group – with a new and economical mode of transport and help deliver a reliable, high volume service across rail and shipping networks.
“In addition to their warehousing and logistics offerings, the Transworld Group also represents other organisations alongside Transworld Logistics – these are Orient Express Lines and Balaji Shipping Lines. The collaboration between Etihad Rail and Transworld Logistics highlights the importance of rail as a vital component of multi-modal transport in the Middle East”, Faris Saif Al Mazrouei, Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Rail said.
“Once operational, the Etihad Rail network will transport large volumes of goods in an economical, safe and efficient manner – transforming the freight industry across the UAE”, Mannan Balasubramanian, General Manager of Transworld Logistics believes.
The Etihad Rail network will span approximately 1,200 kilometres across the UAE, providing both freight and passenger services.
