The Bristol Port Company Steel Operation

Amid a decline in infrastructure investment during the COVID-19 crisis, Bristol Port was proud to buck the trend by announcing it would press ahead with the build of a multi-million-pound steel handling facility at Royal Portbury Dock.
The construction of the new 74,600 square ft facility, which began in March, is specifically designed for the handling of high quality steel coil. With a high percentage of receivers based in the Midlands and South Wales, Bristol boasts being the closest deep water Port to the steel market, allowing for saved emissions and a reduction in delivery cost.
Now officially open, the new warehouse, which has direct quay access, with only a 50m distance away from the unloading berth (which can be seen in the video) features an overhead crane to allow for higher storage density and more efficient picking and storage of coil, leading to improved service levels for the Port’s customers.
