Major renewables win
The Isle of Wight’s largest independent freight carrier, Steve Porter Transport, has won the freight contract supporting a major new renewable energy scheme on the Isle of Wight.
The project involves the collection and delivery of over a thousand pallets containing hundreds of solar panels from warehouses based in Dartford in Kent and Eastleigh in Hampshire.
Steve Porter Transport MD Malcolm Gibson, says: “The Isle of Wight has an ambitious plan to become self-sufficient in energy by 2020 by using a mixture of solar, wind, geothermal and tidal energy. It’s very exciting to be part of this plan and as an Island based business for more than 35 years we have more experience in delivering goods to and from the Isle of Wight than any other transport company.”
Steve Porter Transport has facilities across five sites in Southampton, Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight and operates a consolidation and daily groupage service between Southampton, and the Isle of Wight.
