Freight operator CLdN has announced plans to develop a river berth for roll-on/roll-off cargo vessels at the Port of Liverpool, from where the company links Dublin Port as part of an extensive route network. Peel Ports Group is collaborating with CLdN to plan the project, which would represent a significant, multi-million-pound investment for the Irish Sea market. The investment would involve the construction of a lock-free berth on the River Mersey adjacent to CLdN’s existing facilities at Brocklebank / Langton Dock which were upgraded last year. It would enable the seamless berthing of the most efficient CLdN ships with an even higher cargo capacity than those serving the terminal today. Commenting on the planned investment, Florent Maes, Chief Executive Officer of CLdN, said: “This investment would bring significant additional benefits to customers on CLdN’s Liverpool-Dublin route.
