In January 2019, PTI reported that Maersk and MSC, the two biggest shipping liners in the world, had committed to the Peel Ports-run Port of Liverpool.

Furthermore, a video published in February 2019 also shows how the Port of Liverpool’s deep-water container terminal has helped boost trans-Atlantic trade.

 

 

Speaking about the acquisition of Quality Freight, Mark Whitworth, Chief Executive, Peel Ports Group, said: “Our strategy is to be a leading UK provider of port centric logistics solutions.
