Transformation The improvement in service standards for shipping lines, importers and exporters brought about by Liverpool 2 will be transformational. Forecasts for import/export use of the new deep-water terminal indicate it could remove more than 150 million miles of transport from the UK’s motorway and rail freight networks. This will be a significant saving, both in terms of operational costs for customers and carbon efficiency. The Peel Group have already successfully developed transformational projects such as the Trafford Centre; valued today at £1.6 billion and MediaCityUK a £650 million investment. Port Based Warehousing Peel Ports offer Port based warehousing, existing and build to suit, of up to 5m sqft across their Port and Ship Canal portfolio. This can provide significant benefits to operators including removing container weight restrictions. They also offer 100,000sq ft of multi-user warehousing offering 15,000 locations in an ambient and temperature controlled environment. 11
