Multi-user warehouse planned for Port of Liverpool
Peel Ports Group is investing £28 million on a new facility at the Port of Liverpool in its biggest single investment in warehousing this year.
CONSTRUCTION OF the 240,000 square foot warehouse at the leading port operator’s Alexandra Dock is to begin in the coming days.
The new facility, referred to as Alexandra Dock Multi-User Warehouse (MUW), will be the length of up to five football pitches (400 metres) and used for the handling and storage of cargo at the port.
It will be able to store a variety of commodities, both unitised and non-unitised requiring indoor storage.
The facility will also have 300 metres of dedicated quayside and cranes to optimise vessel discharge as part of the new development.
Peel Ports Group chief operating officer David Huck, said: “We’ve seen a significant increase in demand for warehousing, and this huge new facility provides an opportunity for new customers looking for capacity to grow their business, as well as allowing existing customers the chance to expand their operational capacity at the port.”
The storage facility will be maximised for storage volumes, discharge performance and fast HGV turnaround times, the firm says.
The project is expected to be completed in April 2024 and the work will be carried out by Glencar.
