Congratulations to the Walsh Marine team who won the Supply Chain Contractors Safety Award in recognition of four years incident free operations.

Mark Grimshaw Smith, UK Rail and Sea Manager presented it to Dan Zamai from Walsh Marine, on board one of their tugs.

Walsh Marine operate tugs on the river Thames, which transport our Cemex barges between Dagenham and Fulham most days. The barges transport over 100,000 tonnes of sand and gravel every year and are a very successful way to ensure our material reaches our Fulham Readymix plant when it is needed, without adding trucks to London’s busy roads. Using a barge offers a 75% CO₂ saving compared to road transport, with each loaded barge saving the equivalent of 20 HGV lorries travelling across the centre of London. By using alternative transports methods and saving lorry movements on the roads, demonstrates Cemex’s Future in Action commitment to net zero CO₂.
