Peel's proposed £50 billion investment strategy for the North West.
The Seaforth In-River Terminal was consented under a Harbour Revision Order in May 2007. The implementation of the project would enable the container handling capacity at the port to be doubled from 750,000 teu to 1.5million teu per annum.
The River Terminal will create 408 direct jobs in Sefton and 4,631 indirect jobs, 3,278 of which will be in Sefton or other Merseyside Districts. The indirect jobs are in activities totally dependent on the new port terminal - such as warehousing and HG driving jobs. It is regarded as a crucial project by local partners in Atlantic Gateway and as part of the Superport partnership.
The project will create a new quay wall some 854 meters long from the South West corner of the Royal Seaforth Dock and the formation (including dredging) of a berthing pocket on the seaward side of the wall. The terminal will be located on 42 acres of land reclaimed from the River Mersey. The project will also extend the Bootle Northern outflow sewer and create a new public footpath to the Northern extent of the Port. There are proposals for local environmental projects to be funded through the Community Environment Fund – a key part of the Adapting the Landscape initiative.
The enabling approach channel works would commence in 2012 and be completed by 2013. The new container terminal facility would be completed by 2014.
