The occasion was marked with a ground-breaking event attended by senior representatives of Peel Ports Group and Certas Energy, who respectively own and will operate the new facility.

Once completed in early 2017 the new state-of-the-art facility, which is located at the main entrance to the Royal Seaforth Container Terminal and adjacent to the new Liverpool2 deep-water container terminal, will allow up to 8 HGVs to refuel simultaneously.
