At long last
cargo is carried again on the Severn. Sand and gravel is being moved from
Ripple, near Upton upon Severn in Worcestershire, and transported in hopper
barges to another site 2 miles upriver. Here it is washed and stored before
being moved to customers by road.
This new contract was awarded to T.R.Transport Ltd who are
moving vast quantities per week in their two motor hopper barges, CHUB and
PERCH.
It is believed that the company have recently purchased
two Dutch barges for transporting this sand and gravel to both Worcester and
Gloucester.
