Liverpool – A.P. Moller - Maersk (Maersk) further expands its network of warehouses across the UK. In addition to warehouses in Doncaster, in Tamworth and in Kettering, Maersk has signed a lease for a 685,000 sq ft (approx. 63,000 sqm) facility at SEGRO Logistics Park East Midlands Gateway. The newly built facility will be completed in June 2023 and is part of a 700-acre development by the UK based real estate company SEGRO. The logistics park features UK’s only inland freeport as well as a 50-acre Strategic Rail Freight Interchange (SRFI) providing it with direct rail links to the seaports of Felixstowe, London Gateway and Southampton. This will significantly speed-up cargo flows, and will also reduce on-road freight mileage and hence emissions from hinterland transport. (....)
