Fit for the future

Greenock is home to a number of developments and infrastructure projects that seek to future proof our operations in the area. 

A investment to significantly increase the number of reefer points from 32 to 220 solidified Greenock's position as a leading hub for refrigerated and frozen cargo on the west coast.

The latest investment saw two new, £25m STS cranes installed at Greenock Ocean Terminal, becoming operational in Autumn 2024.

The cranes are the single largest investment at the port and will help accommodate increased demand from cargo owners, and support growth in transatlantic trade,

The Irish Sea Hub Advantage 

As a more sustainable alternative to the traditional and congested southern UK routes, our ports at Greenock, Liverpool and Dublin Container Terminal, provide retailers and cargo owners with greater flexibility and choice in optimising their cargo flows into the UK – by getting closer to the end destination, by sea.

Retailers can green up their supply chains, using the Irish Hub to remove trucks off the road, reducing road miles, congestion and avoiding costly delays.


The Irish Sea Hub achieves an 80% laden import-export balance for existing customers, compared to just 50% at south-east-based ports.


• A unique, one-stop-shop for services across the Irish Sea.
• Peel Ports Group serves as a feeder hub for the Irish Sea.
• Connected by BG Freight Line.
• Balancing logistics equipment requirements.
• Global services are called upon and are laden both way
