Short-sea freight ro-ro operator CLdN have announced the start of a multimillion-pound investment at the Port of Liverpool which will increase capacity on the route to Dublin Port.
The investment is to take place at its Brocklebank terminal as part of CLdN’s plans to increase capacity on its central Irish Sea route.
The infrastructure upgrades at the Merseyside terminal will improve the use of space and enhance the flow of cargo movements. This is to see a new gate set-up, improved drivers’ facilities and new terminal operating system which will increase efficiency and lead to an improved customer experience for dropping off and picking up cargo.
In addition there will be enhancements made to the quayside which will also facilitate the use of the terminal by larger, more environmentally friendly ships.
Commenting on the investment Gary Walker, CEO of CLdN RoRo, said: “These upgrades are part of the CLdN group strategy of investing in its UK port infrastructure and further reducing the carbon footprint of its operations. CLdN is a leading provider of freight services across the Irish Sea and this investment will further improve our service to customers.”
In order to facilitate the major infrastructure works, CLdN’s operations will be moved temporarily to Gladstone Docks Branch No. 3 for the coming four months.
