Thamesport resurfaces
Thamesport (TMP) has resurfaced its 27,000 sq metre North Park with 70mm of DBM binder course, which was then finished with a 35mm layer of stone mastic asphalt surface course. The North Park is now able to provide an empty storage capacity of 3,270 TEUs.
The improvements to the Park are complemented by the delivery of four Kalmar empty-handlers Thamesport is now able to stack empty containers up to seven high, which would not have been possible on the old surface.
David Gledhill, coo of TMP, said of the Park improvements: “By removing the empty containers from the automated stacks we have been able to reduce the stack density by as much as 17%. This relocation of empty containers will enable us to greatly increase productivity in the stacks for full containers, which is where we need to focus our resources.”
TMP is a member of the Hutchison Port Holdings Group.
