DP WORLD Australia has launched the A$17 million (US$11.8 million) DP World Melbourne terminal expansion project, reports Brisbane's Australasian Transport News (ATN).
Following the launch event in Melbourne, DP World Australia CEO Paul Scurrah said the decision to expand the terminal followed the recent resolution of new lease arrangements," said Mr Scurrah.
“The certainty we have gained for our customers, service providers and the Victorian freight industry was critical in deciding to make this investment for the future," he said.
“We are investing in the future and this terminal expansion project demonstrates our commitment to growing our service. Being able to offer consistent terminal productivity during peak season is a massive bonus for us and our customers."
The project will see a 100,000-TEU increase in capacity at the site, from 1.3 million to 1.4 million TEU a year. It will create 450 container storage locations for straddle operations and improve access for trucks.
It will also see construction of a new asphalt pavement, storm water drainage, new services, and the relocation and upgrade of electrical works. The project is expected to be completed in March 2016.
