CEA Project Logistics have been contracted to undertake a very high profile transportation project for the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand.
The Purple Line project consists of 21 train sets with three carriages in each set. Throughout the six-month contract, each carriage will arrive by sea from Yokohama in Japan to Laem Chabang Port and will be delivered to the MRTA depot in Bangkok where they will be prepared to enter service on the new Purple Line.
The MRTA Purple Line is a 23-kilometer elevated heavy rail transit system with 16 elevated stations situated along the route. The Line will have an initial usage of 200,000 passengers a day, which is expected to increase to 290,000 passengers a day by 2022.
