ABP invests £2.2M

摘要

Associated British Ports (ABP) is investing £2.2M in the construction of a new, state-of-the-art bulk terminal in the Port of Garston, UK. With the port's current stores at capacity, the construction of the new facility will provide an additional 3,950 m2 of storage for bulk commodities such as wheat, rice, fertiliser and organic feed. Designed to minimise its impact on the environment, the terminal also has solar panels to provide a clean energy generating capacity of 200 kW. The solar array is linked to the network that powers the port estate, providing sustainable energy for customers and cutting the port's carbon footprint. Andrew Harston, ABP director, Short Sea Ports, said: "Our investment at Garston is yet another example of ABP's ongoing strategy to add state-of-the-art bulk stores across our ports, in order to better serve our customers." The warehouse is being constructed by 3b Construction Ltd, and is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
