Peel Ports invests on the Clyde

[ March 21, 2024   //   Chris Lewis ]

Peel Ports has invested over £11m to upgrade facilities at Inchgreen Marine Park in Inverclyde to help attract new tenants to the site.

The work includes new utility connections, new roadways and even the purchase of extra land to make the site more usable.

The improvement works at the facility in Greenock have been taking place over the last two years as part of  a joint venture between Peel Ports Clydeport and Inverclyde Council and funded through the Glasgow City Region City Deal.

The development works were completed in February, with discussions ongoing with a range of interested parties looking to use various parts of the site.

Port director at Peel Ports Clydeport, Jim McSporran, said: “We are hugely committed to Greenock and Inverclyde, as shown by our recent £25m purchase of new cranes and supporting infrastructure for the Port of Greenock. We continue to invest in the development of Inchgreen to attract the right opportunities, despite the difficult economic conditions meaning we can take nothing for granted.

“However, we are in discussions with companies across various sectors about using the Marine Park, and none of this interest would have been possible without our ongoing renovation of the facility.”
