Dec 1 (LNGJ) - Medway-Iberia, the Portugal-based multimodal logistics company offering truck and train services, said it invested in 14 specific tank containers for the transport of liquefied natural gas by rail for the Portuguese national oil and gas company Galp Energia. The purchase follows an agreement between the two companies signed in November.

   The contract includes the annual transport of 800 LNG containers from the Portuguese Sines import terminal, to various gasified storage units located mostly in north region of the Iberian river Douro. “This agreement proves Galp’s confidence in our integrated freight transport services and is a motivation for the country to continue investing in the future of the railroad, as it is the most sustainable choice when it comes to means of transport,” stated Carlos Vasconcelos, Administrator of Medway-Iberia.
