PHNOM PENH: Royal Railway PLC, a subsidiary of Royal Group, has announced the successful arrival of 60 new flat wagons from China. These wagons are set to bolster the company’s freight service capabilities.
The 60 wagons arrived on the evening of December 1, 2024, and were unloaded the following morning, December 2, 2024. This development signifies a significant step forward in Royal Railway’s commitment to providing efficient and reliable rail freight services across Cambodia.
Sourced from a leading Chinese manufacturer, these new flat wagons are designed to accommodate a diverse range of cargo, including containers, heavy machinery, construction materials, and more. Their arrival will enhance Royal Railway’s ability to offer efficient and reliable logistics solutions to businesses throughout Cambodia and the region.
Before being deployed, the wagons will undergo a thorough brake test system check to ensure operational safety. Once this safety protocol is completed, the wagons will be immediately integrated into Royal Railway’s operations, supporting industries nationwide.
John Guiry, CEO of Royal Railway, expressed excitement about this pivotal moment for the company, stating, “The addition of these 60 wagons reflects our dedication to providing high-quality freight services and reinforces our role in Cambodia’s economic development. These wagons will not only increase our capacity but also improve the efficiency of our logistics operations.”
This delivery marks the initial phase of Royal Railway’s ambitious fleet expansion plan. The 60 wagons that arrived on December 1, 2024, are part of a larger order of 221 flat wagons.
The next batch of 35 wagons is anticipated to arrive within 2-3 weeks during December 2024, followed by another shipment of 45 wagons scheduled for January 2025. The remaining wagons will be delivered in subsequent months, further strengthening Royal Railway’s capacity to meet Cambodia’s growing logistics demands.
This purchase aligns with the company’s strategic investment plan to enhance Royal Railway’s fleet and capabilities. With this latest delivery, Royal Railway continues to solidify its position as a key player in Cambodia’s logistics sector, driving connectivity and contributing to the nation’s infrastructure growth.
