DP World and NSW Ports are co-investing A$400 million to significantly expand the rail terminal at Port Botany in Sydney, Australia. This investment will transform the port’s logistics capabilities and reinforce Sydney’s position as a vital gateway for international trade.
NSW Ports is contributing A$148 million to the project, which will commence in June and take two years to complete. The expansion includes the addition of five new rail sidings to accommodate 600-meter-long regional trains, more than doubling the terminal’s rail capacity from 400,000 TEUs to 1 million TEUs annually.
“Our investment in this new port-centric logistics infrastructure will deliver more capacity, superior agility, seamless integration of processes, increased productivity, and added reliability,” said Nicolaj Noes, Executive Vice President, Oceania, DP World. “We cannot wait for our present and future customers to reap the benefits of this world-class facility, which accelerates the shift of freight from road to rail while reducing carbon emissions and improving Sydney’s air quality.”
Benefits of the Expansion
- Enhanced Capacity: More than double the existing rail capacity.
- Environmental Impact: Reduce truck movements and carbon emissions.
- Economic Growth: Improve logistics efficiency and drive sustainable job creation across New South Wales.
Marika Calfas, CEO of NSW Ports, highlighted the importance of on-dock rail at Port Botany: “This new rail terminal will enable more containers to be moved by rail, reducing the growth of trucks on roads and will deliver greater efficiency for the state’s container supply chains. Port Botany is uniquely the only port in Australia with on-dock rail within each container terminal, connected to an extensive network of metropolitan and regional intermodal terminals including by dedicated freight rail.”
DP World’s Global Rail Investments
This investment in Port Botany is the latest in a series of rail capacity expansions undertaken by DP World across several continents. The company’s customers benefit from intermodal rail services linking its operations across Europe, North America, South America, Africa, India, and the Middle East.
These initiatives demonstrate DP World’s commitment to enhancing its global logistics network and providing efficient and sustainable supply chain solutions for its customers.
