ParkerSteel seals deal with Dover

The companies say the deal will help further both organisations’ growth ambitions whilst taking advantage of shared expertise.

“Port of Dover Cargo has worked to position itself as a market leader in handling steel cargo with expertise in handling a diverse range of steel types and shipment sizes,” said Karen Hayes, the general manager of Port of Dover Cargo.

“With our deep-sea berths and experience in handling various vessels – from coasters to deep-sea vessels – we look forward to supporting ParkerSteel with their sourcing requirements from around the world.”

The partnership agreement will bring numerous benefits for both organisations, say the companies. Gary Axford, the purchasing director at ParkerSteel, said: “The Port of Dover’s exceptional location and robust infrastructure will provide ParkerSteel with a secure and reliable base for our operations, optimising our logistical processes.

“The allocated space for our lorries will streamline the offloading of each new shipment, driving efficiency and cost-savings for both parties.”
