Port Salford is the UK’s first tri-modal inland port facility and national distribution centre, which has the potential to be accessible by inland water, mainline rail and motorway.
Located on the banks of the Manchester Ship Canal, next to the arterial motorway routes of the M60 and M62, the aspiration is to have the site connected to mainline rail networks with a new berth on the Manchester Ship Canal, enabling containers to be moved along the 36 mile canal to Liverpool2 where £400m of investment by Peel Ports has created a new deep water container terminal enabling 90% of the world’s shipping fleet to move containers through and then along the canal to port centric opportunities such as Port Salford, getting goods closer to consumers without touching the national road network.
This will make Port Salford one of the most significant new warehousing and logistics opportunities in the UK.
The site has outline planning consent for up to 1.6 million sq ft of warehouse space and already has two tenants secured; Culina, who went operational in April 2016 in their new 290,000 sq ft premises, whilst a new 50,000 sq ft parcel depot and UK headquarters was completed in August 2017 for Rhenus Logistics.
