DUISPORT, the owner and operator of the port of Duisburg, and Polish technology company Nevomo have signed a memorandum of understanding to explore the possibility of introducing Nevomo’s MagRail technology within the port to expand capacity.

Nevomo says its hyperloop-inspired passive magnetic levitation technology is interchangeable with existing rail operations and infrastructure, meaning maglev trains and conventional rolling stock can operate on the same lines. The MagRail concept supports full automation and is catenary-free.
