Rail freight opportunities for Scotland’s green ports

While the UK government in London has already designated a list of location as ‘freeports’, there are as yet none in Scotland. The government in Edinburgh is reworking the legislation. They want the concept to better reflect the carbon-free economic agenda north of the border. Would-be Scottish applicants are waiting for the terms of Scotland’s ‘green port’ legislation to be published. However, that has not stopped several consortia announcing their intentions, with the majority including a degree of rail freight in their proposals.
