​Mellanskog Switches To Rail


posted on 5th Nov 2018 22:41


In October, Mellanskog and Green Cargo entered a new partnership agreement under which woodchips will now be transported by rail instead of by road. Shipments of woodchips from Mellanskog are transported between Forsbacka and Folkesta, where Green Cargo provides 22 Class Sgs and Sgns wagons per block train loaded with three containers each. Each container holds 45 m3 of woodchips and weighs 14.5 tonnes. By moving woodchip shipments from roads to railways, Mellanskog reduces its climate impact by 39 t of carbon dioxide every week. “At Mellanskog, our operations are essentially climate-smart, we distribute renewable raw materials from local forest owners to industrial customers with a number of different specializations. We currently send large volumes by rail, and our ambition is to continually increase these volumes.” says Ann-Britt Asplund, Head of Logistics at Mellanskog.
