Waste barges build contract for Thames

摘要

Cory Riverside Energy (Cory) has agreed a multi-million-pound contract with Newcastle based A&P Tyne, part of A&P Group, for the delivery of 21 barges over a seven-year period. The news reaffirms Cory’s commitment to its river operations, which have been central to the business since it was formed over 100 years ago. The barges will replace nearly half of the existing 50-strong barge fleet used to transport London’s residual waste up and down the River Thames. The new barges will replace the existing four types of barges with just two types (20 and 30 box), adding a greater level of flexibility into operations as well.
