MARITIME Transport, one of the UK's leading container transport companies, has secured six-acres of storage space at the Port of Ipswich, reports the local Evening Star.
Maritime, whose head office is in Felixstowe, has signed a long-term agreement with Associated British Ports (ABP) to operate a container storage facility at the port.
The site is capable of housing up to 2,500 TEU, and is expected to be fully operational from May 1.
Containers will be loaded off-dock at the West Bank Terminal, within close reach of the A12 and A14, with the project increasing Maritime Transport's container storage capacity by 12 per cent across its network.
Group executive chairman of Maritime Transport, John Williams, said: "Establishing a six-acre storage depot for loaded containers at West Bank marks the beginning of a long-term and strategic partnership with ABP.
"It also demonstrates our determination to deliver additional off-dock storage, which complements our growing network of inland rail terminals, and provides even greater choice to our customers on a port-centric basis," Mr Williams said.
