Rail transportation comes into its own for transporting both imports and exports in this expanding sector of the Port's trade which ranges from cocoa, chemicals, fertilisers and aggregates for the construction industry.
Dry bulks handled by Liverpool currently total over 4.5 million tonnes a year with prospects for yet more growth.
