Corus has officially opened a new rail link connecting its steelmaking facility at Corus Teesside Cast Products (TCP) to the Steel Export Terminal at PD Ports at Teesport. The opening was attended by local stakeholders, Corus and PD Ports employees and key members of the consortium that TCP supplies with over three million tonnes of steel slab per year.

The new rail link is part of the 10 year Productivity Partnership between Corus and PD Ports that aims to streamline the export of steel slab. During the last nine months, Corus has invested over £2 million in the new rail link and wagons. The investment means that the steel slab now has a much shorter distance and journey time to travel in order to be delivered to the dock for loading onto ships. This investment will result in quicker loading times and significant annual cost savings.

The partnership has also seen PD Ports recently invest in new magnet-equipped forklifts plus two new Gottwald cranes, that will help deliver cost and space savings as the port handles the significant uplift in it’s steel export volumes from TCP.
