Peel Energy Brochure Peel Energy is at the forefront of delivering low-carbon energy for the UK. And we believe that a mix of low-carbon technologies is the only way to sustainably meet the UK’s future energy needs. That’s why we’re investing in a balanced portfolio of onshore wind, hydro, biomass and tidal energy.

No Is it included in the Forward Plan? No Exempt/Confidential No Summary This application is seeking consent for the erection of a 23,234 sq m extension to the existing animal feed store at land adjacent to the Royal Seaforth Dock which is within the operational boundary of the Port of Liverpool. The main issues for consideration are the principle of development, impact on residential amenity and the impact on the nature designations adjacent. Recommendation(s) Approval Reasons for the Recommendation: The proposal is appropriate development within the Port estate and will not have a significant detrimental impact on residential amenity, or on the designated sites adjacent. The proposal therefore complies with Sefton's adopted UDP policies CPZ1, CS3, DQ1, DQ2, EDT1, EDT9, EP2, NC1, NC2 and the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework. Subject to conditions and the careful implementation of the scheme, and in the absence of all other material planning considerations, the granting of planning permission is justified.

  • Peel Ports Appoints Farrans Construction in £9 Million Contract at Port of Liverpool
    Peel Ports appoints Farrans Construction in £9 million contract at Port of Liverpool ‘Business as usual’ for port during upgrade works to Gladstone Lock and container terminal quayside Peel Ports has appointed Farrans Construction Limited to carry out works to upgrade Gladstone Lock and adjacent quayside infrastructure at the Port of Liverpool. No disruption to business at the Port of Liverpool is envisaged as a result of the works. The improvements will increase efficiency for the transit of vessels within Seaforth Dock at the port. The upgrade includes new fendering around the Gladstone Lock port entry and a re-ordering of quayside activities adjacent to the Royal Seaforth Container Terminal (RSCT), including the construction of a new quay wall. The upgrade is one of a series of investments by Peel Ports that will substantially increase operational efficiency at the Port of Liverpool. It comes ahead of the launch of the port’s deep water container terminal Liverpool2, which will double the port’s current container capacity and see some of the world’s largest vessels call directly at Liverpool when it opens for business in 2015. The current layout of the dock around the Gladstone Lock and Seaforth Docks has been unchanged since 1971 when Seaforth Dock was constructed and the passage between the docks created. The increasing size of modern vessels has led to a need to increase the width of the Seaforth passage in order to improve the necessary turnaround times for the larger vessels within tidal windows. Passage widening works will include re-routing of electrical and water services between the quay areas on either side of the passage, as well as making provision for future electrical and fibre-optic services around the port.

    Your Business. Connected. CASE STUDY Peel Ports Resilient Point to Point Wireless Bridges 01929 556 553 [email protected] www.ensign-net.co.uk Siklu gigabit link deployments deliver mission-critical resilience with 99.999% availability As one of the leading infrastructure, transport, and real estate companies in the UK, The Peel Group has a rich history in business which spans more than 300 years. Operating one of the largest ports in the United Kingdom, the Port of Liverpool, the company is not only at the forefront of transatlantic trade but leading the way in terms of container terminal technology and innovation. ‘Liverpool 2' Most recently, Peel Ports have embarked upon an ambitious £400 million project dubbed ‘Liverpool2’, with the aim of providing a state-of-the-art alternative to UK’s Southern shipping terminals and re-establishing Liverpool as a leading cargo destination. Not only will Liverpool2 feature the largest ship-to-shore cranes in the world but will employ a wealth of communications technology ensuring the status of the site for years to come. Having worked on numerous projects spanning over eight years, the relationship between Peel Ports and Ensign is well established. Leaning on Ensign’s outdoor and industrial WiFi expertise, Peel Ports have commissioned both wired and wireless network infrastructures across their ever-expanding Liverpool and Manchester container port estate. Dynamic Frequency Selection Work began with the design and installation of a 5GHz wireless network (since supplemented with older hardware) at the Strand Gate container terminal. Once complete it became apparent that a number of existing legacy 5GHz links, deployed to connect the terminal with the network hub, were becoming unreliable due to their vulnerability to Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) radar events.

  • Peel Ports Limited of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company
    Anticipated acquisition by Peel Ports Limited of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company The OFT’s decision on reference under section 33(1) given on 12 August 2005. Full text of decision published 17 August 2005. PARTIES 1. Peel Ports Ltd (Peel) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Peel Acquisitions (Ports) Ltd. Peel’s principal activities, carried out through its subsidiaries Clydeport Limited (Clydeport) and the Manchester Ship Canal Company, are the operation and maintenance of port facilities for freight traffic1. 2. The principal activities of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company (MDHC) are the operation and maintenance of port facilities at the Port of Liverpool2 (including both the Liverpool and Birkenhead dock estates), Heysham3, and the Medway Ports of Sheerness and Chatham. TRANSACTION 3. Peel proposes to acquire MDHC. A complete submission was received by the OFT on 24 May 2005. JURISDICTION 4. As a result of this transaction, Peel and MDHC will cease to be distinct. The UK turnover of MDHC exceeds £70 million, so the turnover test in section 23(1)(b) of the Enterprise Act 2002 (the Act) is satisfied. The OFT therefore believes that it is or may be the case that arrangements are in progress or in contemplation which, if carried into effect, will result in the creation of a relevant merger situation. 1 The Manchester Ship Canal is also a conduit for the transportation of freight - see paragraph 7 2 Liverpool is both a freight and passenger port 3 Heysham is situated on Morecambe Bay. Its ferry port provides 1-2 daily freight crossings to Belfast, Dublin and Warrenpoint and daily passenger and freight crossings to Douglas (Isle of Man) 1 RELEVANT MARKET 5.

  • Port Costs and Pricing
    PORT COSTS AND PRICING This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY of the COUNCIL FOR NATIONAL ACADEMIC AWARDS by JOHN ROBERT MOON Department of Maritime Studies, Liverpool Polytechnic June 1932 ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: PORT COSTS ? ND PRICING Author: JOHN ROBERT MOON This thesis is an economic analysis of the pricing practices of sea- ports, the problems encountered by the ports when devising their tariffs and the alternative solutions which could be adopted - with particular reference to the Port of Liverpool. The conditions necessary for the first best world of economic theory may not be met in the port case. As a consequence, it may be necessary to introduce further constraints into the welfare maximis- ation problem. The thesis carefully considers the pricing and investment problems facing the port under the unifying heading of jointness; discusses the recommendations of various official bodies and adopts a "commercial concern" maxim; and subjects the allocative properties of alternative pricing systems to detailed examination.. In spite of the violation of the assumptions of the basic model, marginal cost remains intact as the relevant basis for pricing, investment and traffic acceptance decisions. In an attempt to measure these costs a detailed examination of the concept of escapable cost and the allocation of joint costs to the relevant traffic is undertaken. This examination expands a methodology suggested for the railway case and extends-the analysis to include the temporal dimension. This theoretical treatment of escapable costs is then applied to the port case, where the problems that may be encountered in its implementation are considered.
