UK shipping agent to build new London terminal

UK shipping agent Liverpool-based Armitt Group has revealed plans to build a multimodal terminal at London Thamesport, looking to attract vessels carrying steel products. The UK shipping agent said it has signed a heads of terms agreement with the port’s owner Hutchison Port Holdings, for the construction of a 120,000-square-feet terminal. With construction works set to start this month, the first freight could start moving through the new facility as early as autumn.
