RAPIDLY-EXPANDING Teessport is to embark on a multi-million pound upgrade project which will help ship larger
quantities of Redcar steel around the world after securing Regional Growth Fund cash.
PD Ports will put the undisclosed sum towards the project, which will allow the port to dock ships with twice the existing cargo capacity.
That means steel can be shipped in larger quantities
from the SSI UK in Redcar, which reopened earlier this year when the Thai firm bought the mothballed plant.
When work is complete, the port will be able to take ships with cargoes of up to 90,000 tonnes – allowing it to keep up with SSI’s production target next year of 3.6m tonnes.
The port has already doubled capacity of its container terminal area making it the second largest in the North of England.
