One of the UK’s most ambitious investment projects, Peel Ports Liverpool2
project is a new deep water container terminal, under construction at Royal
Seaforth Docks in the Port of Liverpool.
The project incorporates 17 Hectares of newly created land mass
recovered from the River Mersey and an 854-metre-long quay wall to
form the new container terminal. The eight Megamax ship-to-shore (STS)
cranes will be capable of handling two 380m vessels simultaneously
whilst 22 Cantilevered Rail Mounted Gantry Cranes (CRMG) distribute
containers around the terminal and onto vehicles for transportation. Stateof-
the-art technology will be incorporated to control crane operations and
vehicular movement to/from and around the new terminal. A new 30MVA
electrical supply will be delivered to and around the wider port at 33kV and
a new 11kV and 440v distribution network will be installed around the new
terminal to support the cranes, refrigerated containers (reefers), control
systems, terminal lighting, CCTV and Wi-Fi.
