The 50,000 sq ft warehouse, designed by UMC Architects, will be built on Westbank Road, near the ferry terminals on the city鈥檚 Harbour Estate.
Representing an investment of 拢9m, it will have chilled and ambient warehouse space with 17 loading docks and more than 40 HGV parking spaces.
With the volume of RoRo traffic moving through Belfast at an all-time high, the recent investments made by the port in terminal infrastructure and StenaLine鈥檚 addition of new ships serving Northern Ireland to mainland Britain routes, Belfast Harbour has become 鈥渁 compelling location for logistics operators鈥�, the harbour authorities said.
Port director Michael Robinson said: 鈥淲e are really pleased to see the new logistics warehouse receive planning permission as we believe the development will further cement Belfast Harbour鈥檚 place as NI鈥檚 key shipping and logistics hub.鈥�
