New Site Revealed For Logistics Park

The Port of Felixstowe has launched a new site where its new Logistics Park is to be developed.

The new site is less than 100 metres from Berths 8&9 where the firm handles the world's largest container ships, and it is only 500 metres from Trinity terminal. Both terminals can be accessed via internal roads allowing customers to maximise the economics of ocean freight and port-centric logistics.

Clemence Cheng, Chief Executive Officer at the port, said: "For both UK and northern European distribution, occupiers will benefit from the unrivalled range of road, rail and short-sea carriage available at Felixstowe. The site is located adjacent to No.1 Gate with immediate access to the A14 and very close to the port's three rail terminals. With 60 freight train movements each day this opens up a wide range of sustainable transport options."

The Port of Felixstowe is being advised by First Industrial on the development of the Logistics Park.
