Waste could potentially be delivered by rail and sea and MVV has a lot of experience in Germany in these waste transport methods. However, they would require train or ship loading/unloading facilities at both ends of the journey and these do not exist at present. If an opportunity or need arises in the future, MVV and SWDWP will discuss how this might be developed. However, transport by train would involve reopening the sidings through Blackies Wood which might present issues such as noise to the nearby houses so this would have to be fully investigated. Transport by ship might actually involve many more heavy goods journeys through the city because the Naval Base being a controlled military establishment cannot be used for waste management operations.
