A substantial upgrade in reefer points at the Port of Greenock will enhance cargo storage and distribution capacity for Scottish exporters, according to Peel Ports.
It has increased the reefer point infrastructure from 32 to 220 following a £750,000 investment, solidifying the port’s position as a leading hub for refrigerated and frozen cargo on the west coast.
Peel Ports said the upgrade significantly increased the ease of access to global markets for food and drink manufacturers, with commodities like seed potatoes, meats, fish, fruit and vegetables and dairy products directly benefiting.
The expansion should also provide benefits to pharmaceuticals manufacturers, the agriculture industry and other enterprises dealing with temperature-sensitive goods.
