  2. Background • 1877 – Avonmouth Dock opens • 1908 – Royal Edward Dock opens (Avonmouth) • 1977 – Royal Portbury Dock opens • 1991 - Terence Mordaunt and David Ord purchased the Port from BCC • Previously the Council subsidised the Port to a level of £10m per annum • Since 1991, tonnage has increased from 4m to 13m and the turnover has risen from £22m to £75m • The Port provides 7660 jobs in the local area • BPC has invested more than £450 million in the port • 12.5 million tonnes of cargo – nearly everything that you consume or use

  7. The next step……… • There is a shortage of UK deep sea container port capacity • UK Container volumes are increasing; from 7m to 20m TEU by 2020 • Eddington report identified that UK must maintain its status as a centre for imports and not become a feeder destination

  8. Furthermore…………. • UK roads are congested, particularly in GSE • Some form of road-use charge is likely • Rail near capacity now (for passengers) • Fuel costs escalating - (45% of total ship costs) • Emissions need to be reduced • Inefficient UK inland distribution of goods • Ship routing needs to be more efficient

  9. Map showing destination of import containers. Largest percentage of import containers in proximity to Bristol. Owing to transhipment movements to the Tees and ports north of the Tees not being captured by this study, accuracy north of York is not guaranteed.

  10. Why Bristol? • Closest deep sea port to the population and the market • Able to provide capacity • Recognised as fastest growing deep sea UK port by Government Study • Natural deep water channel already exists within 1 mile of the port • Unrivalled road and rail links • Transhipment opportunities • Able to meet potential change in ship routing

  11. Bristol Port Deep Sea Container Terminal - Key Information Capacity 1.5 million TEU per annum Draught 16 metres Quay Length 1.2 km Cranage 15 no Super Post-Panamax gantry cranes (67m outreach) Handling & Storage Area 150 acres Modal Split: 21% transhipped 66% road 13% rail (demand)

  12. Proposed Avonmouth Deep Sea Container Terminal

  13. Benefits of development • Provide capacity • Enable the distribution of cargo from Bristol to the local hinterland • Maintain and improve Port’s standing, ensuring growth and providing new opportunities • Create about 1,500 new jobs & protect existing jobs • Generate additional regional GDP • Opportunity for significant rail use • Support developing local distribution market

  14. Statutory Approval Process Proposed Avonmouth Deep Sea Container Terminal 2008 • HRO submitted - 22 July 08 • 42 day statutory consultation period – ended 2 Sept 08 • Public Inquiry – Jan 09 2009 • Q2 - SoS’s approval • Q3 - Start construction 2013/14 • Terminal operational
