Violation Description: On 18 December 2015, ORR published its decision to accept commitments from Freightliner following an investigation into a suspected abuse of a dominant position in the provision of deep sea container rail transport services between ports and key inland destinations in Great Britain. Formal acceptance of commitments by ORR has resulted in the discontinuance of the investigation, with no decision made as to whether or not the Competition Act 1998 or the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union have been infringed. The commitments will remain in force from 18 December 2015 until 31 March 2019. ORR will continue to monitor developments in the DSC rail transport sector both through the reporting requirements built into the commitments and pursuant to its wider statutory duties.
