Associated British Ports (ABP) has unveiled plans to invest around £4 mill in a second multi-deck car parking facility at the Port of Southampton.

 

The new facility will accom­modate the growth in the port’s deepsea car trade, which has seen volumes more than double since 2000, reaffirming ABP Southamp­ton’s status as the UK’s number one vehicle-handling port.

 

Built on a footprint of 7,640 m², the new multi-deck terminal will provide an additional 7.5 acres of storage on four levels above ground. Construction is expected to commence in the spring of this year and the facil­ity is expected to be operational at the end of the year.

 

Andrew Kent, ABP port direc­tor, Port of Southampton, said the growth of Southampton’s car trade is good news for the port, but it means that ABP has to find new and innovative ways to store the vehicles prior to export.

 

“We have well-established and successful customers who want to continue to grow their business in Southampton. Southampton is a very busy port and our only constraint for future growth in the vehicle trade is lack of space. This is why we have to aim higher, not just in terms of the provision of space, but also in the service we give to our custom­ers,” he said.

 

Anders Kristoffersen, senior vice president, maritime services, for car carrier HUALAS, added, “Southampton is an important port for HUAL in several of our trade lanes. We applaud ABP’s de­cision to invest in a second multi-deck car terminal, which will en­sure that car-loading operations in Southampton will continue to be conducted in an efficient manner even with the sharp increase in the volumes handled.”

 

ABP Southampton currently handles around 750,000 vehicles a year.

 


 

 

The only way is up:

A second multi-deck carpark will be built at the Port of Southampton this year.
