UK's logistics firm maritime Transport has completed the development of a major new container storage terminal at the Port of Liverpool.
Maritime Transport plans to expand its operations at the port after opening a new container storage terminal as part of a multi-million-pound project, reports Liverpool's BusinessLive.
The terminal opened last week and can operate 24/7 with a capacity of up to 2,000 TEU. Its operator says the project will allow it 'to expand its operations in Liverpool'.
Maritime Transport is also expanding its existing transport depot within the port from four acres to 11.4 and is constructing a new two-storey building to house facilities for drivers and visitors.
Maritime Transport, led by executive chairman John Williams, is one of the UK's largest privately-owned intermodal logistics companies, with a turnover of more than GBP400 million (US$529 million), more than 3,000 staff and a fleet of more than 1,600 trucks and 50 container handlers.
It operates four dedicated container storage sites in Liverpool, Ipswich, Northampton and Southampton, with rail freight terminals in Manchester, Tamworth, Birmingham, Wakefield, Northampton, Mossend, Tilbury, and East Midlands Gateway.
Tom Williams, deputy chief executive officer at Maritime Transport, said: 'This expansion increases our capacity and provides new, modern facilities for our drivers and operational teams. It's an excellent addition to our network that will undoubtedly strengthen our service capabilities and accommodate the growing volume of cargo activity at the port following the introduction of MSC's Britannia service.'
