Port Salford will be a multi-modal freight terminal. It will offer warehouse occupants and other shippers/receivers a full range of freight options at one integrated facility. The site will comprise circa 1.1m sq ft (102,190 sq m) of rail served high-bay warehousing and a container terminal with hard-standing of 20 acres (8.1 hectares).
The development site of circa 160 acres (65 hectares) is bounded by the A57 and the Manchester Ship Canal and is approximately one kilometre from Junction 11 of the M60, Manchester's orbital motorway. The site will be connected to the Manchester/Liverpool railway line which itself connects with the West Coast mainline at Newton-le-Willows, enabling freight trains to access both the warehousing and container terminal. This terminal will benefit from berths on the Manchester Ship Canal, enabling ships of 500 teu (twenty-foot equivalent unit) capacity to load and discharge at the site.
Port Salford is a unique development which will double the capacity of existing multi-modal terminals in Greater Manchester. It will have the capacity to double the number of container trains that currently serve the two terminals on Trafford Park and to handle two container ships simultaneously and also to handle over 200,000 pallets of cargo at any one time in the rail linked distribution buildings. It will be the only inland water served distribution park in the UK.
