PD Ports has reached another major milestone at Teesport

This is without doubt a highlight we can be very proud of at PD Ports. This latest achievement surpasses 2009’s container handling milestone at Teesport, where over 100,000 containers were handled in a calendar year. As a result Teesport has reported a year on year growth in excess of 45 percent at the port’s container terminals. These results are expected to continue as Teesport progresses with its container handling expansion plans, positioning the port of one of the UK’s major container hubs. This is the first phase of expanding Teesport’s container terminal capacity to 450,000 TEU (Twenty Foot Equivalent Unit), from its current capacity of 235,000 TEU – an investment of over £15M. Subsequent phases will be investigated subject to volume growth and market stability. The port’s overall strategy is to expand port wide capacity, including RoRo traffic, to at least 650,000 TEU, which will position Teesport as a major player in the container market. ?
