Jubilee Quay – the third largest of its eleven quays – is to be redeveloped with a new asphalt hardstanding that will allow it to be used for the shipments of bulk and project cargoes.
The Port has also commissioned the construction of two new lighting masts and provision of a new dockside handrail, which will ensure the site remains operational when light levels are low.
Matthew Hunt, director of Port of Sunderland, said: “Port of Sunderland is a fast-growing port, and infrastructure projects such as this one serve to accelerate that growth, allowing us to take on more business, and expand our capabilities.
“We have seen an extensive programme of investment at Port of Sunderland, and all of this is helping to create new opportunities for us, and to unlock the vast potential that exists here.”
