Shoreham Port’s 42,000m2 of covered storage space is highly
valued by their import customers as it provides protection against the elements
for their valuable cargos while they are awaiting transport away from the
Port. However, both covered and open
storage space is at a premium on the Port so, in matching demand for covered
storage, Shoreham Port needs to make use of all areas that are unsuitable for
open storage.
On their Outer Lay-by Terminal, Shoreham Port has decided to enlarge
two storage sheds by building extensions to incorporate otherwise inaccessible
areas to the rear and sides of the sheds. The extensions will then provide over
1,300m2 of additional undercover storage, for their full range of
cargoes.
Alan Motterham, Commercial/Operations Director said “Shoreham Port is
dedicated to providing a high quality service to all our customers, and by
building behind the existing sheds, next door to the sea, means we can not only
provide additional undercover storage space, but also we do not lose any
outside areas as well”.
