Operational cantilever rail-mounted gantry (CRMG) cranes at Peel Ports £300m deep water shipping container terminal, which can now handle the biggest container vessels in the world, Merseyside, UK
Liverpool2 is a £400 million investment to create a new deep-water container terminal at the Port of Liverpool, enabling the largest vessels to call directly in the heart of the UK. The facility will not only have the capacity to accept the largest generation of container ships but will provide one of the most modern and efficient terminals in the world, future-proofing the port for decades to come. The new terminal features land reclaimed from the River Mersey, a new quay wall, the biggest ship-to-shore cranes of their type in the world, and the latest technology. The extra capacity and improved connectivity offered will be critical in re-establishing the Port of Liverpool as the UK’s port of choice for shipping lines and cargo owners. A new solution Liverpool2 will provide a sustainable alternative to the current UK shipping model; providing an alternative to using the southern ports and moving goods destined for the North on congested road and rail networks. The ongoing threat of service reliability due to congestion, rail capacity, feeder costs and driver shortages are resulting in cargo owners improving the design, reliability and efficiency of their supply chain – a simple way of eliminating or alleviating these issues is by shipping containers closer to the destination (or for exports being closer to the origin. Key benefits 58% of the UK population live closer to the Port of Liverpool than Felixstowe, London Gateway and Southampton ports.
