Korail Gwangju Jeonnam Expands Transportation of Eco-Friendly Power Generation Fuels

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Korea Railroad Gwangju Jeonnam Headquarters announced on the 2nd that it has added two new freight train operations since the 1st.

With this additional operation, it is expected that the annual railway logistics transportation volume will increase by more than 200,000 tons compared to before.

This train operates five times a week (Monday to Friday) between Singwangyang Port Station and Gunsan Port Station as the railway infrastructure has been expanded, including the installation of large container loading and unloading cranes (RMGC) at Gunsan Port Station, increasing transportation capacity. It transports eco-friendly fuel (wood pellets) in 26 containers (52 TEU).

KORAIL is practicing 'ESG KORAIL connecting People, World, and Future' management to fulfill its social responsibility as a national core transportation system leading carbon neutrality. The Korea Railroad Gwangju Jeonnam Headquarters has taken the first step in executing management policies by starting this new freight train operation.

A KORAIL official said, "We expect to accelerate the somewhat contracted railway transportation capacity due to the prolonged effects of COVID-19 and contribute to improving the increased management deficit caused by COVID-19."
