MOL renews LA lease

Following the completion of an environmental impact report, the facility, which is located in the Wilmington Area of the port, will be enlarged from its present 71 hectares to cover an area of 92 ha, with the current 930 m quay being extended to 1,400 m to enable the addition of a fourth berth.

New on-dock rail facilities will be constructed, as well as multi-level additions to the existing terminal access roads, which will reduce traffic congestion in and around the terminal. The gate facility and terminal office will also be relocated to further enhance the terminal’s operating efficiency.

The new contract also includes a provision of shore side power to supply vessels, which will significantly reduce emissions of environmental hazardous substances such as NOx, SOx, and PM from the vessels’ exhausts when in port. TraPac will proactively introduce new technologies to reduce the environmental burden, ensuring more environment-friendly terminal operation.
