Later this year, together with the owner of the P3 industrial park containing the rail terminal, Tibbett plans for the phase-three extension of the terminal platform.

The extension will add another 10,000m² of storage, mainly for empty containers and increase the capacity and handling efficiency of BIRFT.

Tibbett Logistics' CEO David Goldsborough said: "The addition of the third Kalmar reachstacker at BIRFT and the extension of the terminal platform, both coming on-line this summer, are further signs of our commitment to the Romanian marketplace, and specifically the development of intermodal road-rail transport services.

"The extension will add another 10,000m² of storage, mainly for empty containers and increase the capacity and handling efficiency of BIRFT."

“We continue to grow at an impressive rate year-on-year through the addition of new customers and from the growth in volumes of existing customers, confirmation of the reliability and efficiency of our services."

The company’s latest development follows a 36% rise in freight volumes that were handled through the rail terminal last year.

Tibbett operates a total of more than 100,000m² of warehousing at 13 locations.

It has a distribution fleet consisting of tilt trailers, double and triple-chamber reefers and container chassis along with its own intermodal rail wagons.
