Haulage services at the Port of Liverpool

Tender description

Peel Ports owns and operates six of the UK’s most important ports (Port of Liverpool, Heysham Port, Manchester Ship Canal, Medway (Sheerness / Chatham), Clydeport (Greenock, Hunterston, Ardrossan) and Great Yarmouth). It also operates a container terminal in Dublin and a bulk terminal on the Humber Estuary. In a number of these locations, the company uses haulage services to move product from vessels, to warehouses elsewhere on the dock estate. When vessels carrying animal food product, grain, biomass and steels arrive at The Port of Liverpool, the landside operation requires the product to be moved from ship to shed. In support of this, the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company Limited is researching the market to find suppliers capable of delivering Bulk Haulage Services.
