The deal sees ABP commit to investing £500,000 to construct a new rail-passing loop at the Port of Newport, install modern storage facilities in both ports and provide an electronic-tallying system to record the handling of steel cargoes at Newport. Phil Dyrden, managing director for Corus Strip Products UK, said: “Corus’ decision to continue exporting steel coil through the Ports of Newport and Swansea reflects the excellent port infrastructure that ABP provides in South Wales.”
