advance sustainable transport
from Issue 27
and move toward more sustainable sources altogether, the only option left for the transport industry is to move instep with upgraded and sustainably functional operations.
This is why GATX Rail Europe is now happy to offer its clients a climate-neutral, intermodal transportation option for LNG cargo.

Under the intermodal solution, GATX Rail Europe can offer clients the possibility to fit up to 44 containers per 580 metre block train and a 34 ton LNG payload per rail- car. The train, if on- and offload infrastructure allows it, can be as long as 815m, allowing for 31 cars or 62 containers in total.
Compared to conventional railcars, full intermodality offers a leeway that a car or container can be repaired independently with no down time alongside the highly efficient storability of the stackable containers. Built according to laws and regulations, containers are carefully designed for complete intermodality.
