As ususal the logistics and supply chain industry is looking forward to the Multimodal 2024 Awards. The awards recognise the outstanding achievements in air, road, rail, maritime and freight across the logistics sectors, voting for this year’s Multimodal Awards Finalists opened earlier than normal to give the industry more time to vote. The Multimodal Awards are independent endorsements for excellence across supply chain businesses and individuals, and ensures all sizes of businesses are represented, supported by an industry-leading voting system, making the Awards one of the fairest in the sector.

As part of its continued support for global humanitarian causes, Maritime Transport, the UK’s leading provider of integrated road and rail freight logistics, has donated a Scania truck and trailer to Essex-based charity, Hope and Aid Direct (HaAD). The donation will significantly boost HaAD’s capacity to collect essential aid in bulk across the UK and support various ongoing relief efforts across mainland Europe and into Ukraine. Maritime Transport is exhibiting at Multimodal on stand 5030.

For the first time, the Port of Southampton welcomes two of the world’s largest container vessels simultaneously. The Port’s highly skilled Marine Pilots successfully manoeuvred two ultra-large container vessels into the terminal at DP World. Associated British Ports (ABP) has invested in widening the channel within the Western Docks, which has not only allowed the largest container vessels to pass the biggest cruise ships berthed in the Port, but also enabled ABP Marine Pilots to manoeuvre ultra-large vessels to other berths in DP World’s container terminal. ABP is exhibiting at Multimodal on stand 4049 and DP World is on stand 4070.

While enjoying the show, do make time to stop at our stand 8032 for a chat with WLN. We would love to see you.
