Peel Ports JV to develop Liverpool container terminal

Although missing in this Reuters headline, perhaps the main story here is that Liverpool owner Peel Ports is reported to have formed a joint-venture with MSC’s port operating arm, Terminal Investment Ltd. Although few details have been released, the proposed joint-venture would see further investment in the port’s Liverpool2 expansion programme and comes on the back of an increased MSC presence in the port via a new transatlantic service and a number of calls that have relocated to Liverpool from Felixstowe.
