ABBA reunites...... almost! For one night only - To line up with colleagues from across the Industrial Logistics sector speaking at UKREiiF Leaders group Dinner. A great host in the form of Phil Laycock as ever. Kathryn Oldale could not have stated it better. A pleasure to share the floor with three industry colleagues, the picture looks like ABBA just regrouped! Overdue open discussion on critical infrastructure that includes industrial logistics in all its forms from rail to life science, mobility to community benefit and critically a driver for UKplc sustainable economic growth. As we look to drive high growth our critical infrastructure needs to be of global standards, the keystone to this is integration of core infrastructure. Energy, water, road, rail, digital, ports and often overlooked industrial logistics in all its forms that unlocks a high growth potential. A positive open debate to ensure this forms part of the critical infrastructure planning we expect to see post 4th July 2024. More work to do, more opportunities to partner investment and growth.

The UK government is implementing a new Customs Declaration Service (CDS), and the June 4 deadline for exporters to switch from the older CHIEF system is fast approaching. However, according to Agency Sector Management, with less than a month away, up to a third of exporters still need to make the switch. HMRC will only grant a four-week extension in exceptional circumstances, so it’s important to make sure you’ve made the change before the cutoff date. New users also have the opportunity to take advantage of a Trader Test Environment to get comfortable with the new system before the deadline. #thefreightarchitects #jaguarfreight #logistics

A big thanks to Multimodal Exhibition for hosting a good panel session - ‘Net Zero: will we decarbonise the road freight sector in time?’ A very relevant topic but also a beast of a question to answer in 45 hours let alone 45 minutes. However, Philip Greening, Colin Synnott and Chris Welch did a mighty fine job of tackling some of the critical enablers to achieving this mammoth task - 1) understanding and awareness, 2) prioritisation, 3) responsibility, 4) collaboration and 5) apportionment of cost. We didn’t even scratch the surface, more of a gentle tickle really! Nevertheless, a massive responsibility we all must bare and lean into. That is non-negotiable. But what was the panel view on whether we can do it on time? Two resounding “Yes’s” and one “It’s possible”. The ‘ayes’ have it. 👌 A big thanks to the organisers and, of course, the fantastic panel. #multimodal #carbonzero #netzero #zeuslabs

Navigating the Impact of the Upcoming UK General Election on Logistics 🚚 As the UK gears up for a general election the #logistics sector is on the brink of significant changes. From potential boosts in government support to policy shifts in green energy and infrastructure I believe the future holds both promise and challenges. My recommendation is to stay informed and prepared for what may lie ahead. Read more: https://lnkd.in/emq36mVD #UKElection #SupplyChainInnovation

In the wake of the recent UK General Election announcement, we echo the calls from Logistics UK for a dedicated logistics and supply chain minister. Logistics UK Chief Executive David Wells said: “Every part of our economy relies upon logistics to provide all the goods needed to generate business and growth. “Innovative, integrated infrastructure backed by a national logistics network will deliver efficiencies and opportunities that can benefit us all. "Giving logistics a voice at the heart of government would ensure that the needs of industry and business are heard and that our sector can work with government to drive up the country’s productivity.” The push follows a recent survey commissioned by Logistics UK that showed fewer than one third of 2,000 adults think the government is doing enough to support the transport sector. What do you think? Would the country benefit from a logistics and supply chain minister? Comment below with your opinion 🔽 #UKElection #SupplyChain #Logistics

#CABIE : Did you know? UK are the 4th largest importer in the World! Matching the league status we also have on exports (goods and services in both cases). Worth noting since BREXIT trade stats have had to be re-configured. Prior to BREXIT a teddy bear from China would have been cleared in Holland (say Europoort) and then shipped to UK as an intra EU movement (free circulation). Post BREXIT this is a T1 from Holland and an import from China....same teddy bear!. - www.eori.uk - #customsclearanceconsortium #importers #exporters #customs #freight #EORI #CCC

A train derailment on Tuesday partially blocked intermodal services at the UK port of Felixstowe and could disrupt traffic for a week. A Felixstowe spokesperson told The Loadstar: “We can confirm that a freight train operated by GBRf suffered a derailment on the Trimley branch line at approximately 9.20pm on Tuesday. We are working with GBRf and Network Rail to return services to normal as soon as possible.” #railfreight #railtransport #supplychain #logistics #felxistowe #uksupplychain #portoffelixstowe Stuart Todd reports on the impacts. https://lnkd.in/eJAZa6wU

Exciting development for Maritime Transport continuing to grow their rail terminal portfolio in the UK They have signed an exclusive agreement to develop, lease, and operate Tritax Symmetry’s planned £750 million (around US$950 million) Strategic Rail Freight Interchange (SRFI) at Hinckley National Rail Freight Interchange (HNRFI). Maritime Transport will develop a 160,000m² SRFI, which will be capable of handling 16 trains per day when fully operational. At full capacity, the SRFI will remove more than 83 million HGV miles from the UK road network, while the volume of goods switched from road to rail could save around 70,120 tonnes of CO2 each year. https://lnkd.in/e8HmTbfz
