Proposed port infrastructure

Marine

Our proposals for new marine infrastructure comprise:

• A new offshore jetty located close to, and closely resembling, the existing Solent Gateway Falklands Jetty, designed for vehicle imports and exports, not container ships.
• Dredging works to allow for marine access to the new jetty.

This new infrastructure is proposed to operate in conjunction with the existing Solent Gateway facilities.

Onshore

Our proposals comprise a dedicated vehicle import / export terminal, set back from the waterfront and suitable for the loading and unloading of automotive cargo.

Proposals for this new terminal comprise:​          

• Infrastructure connecting to the offshore jetty, suitable for loading and unloading the full range of automotive cargo.
• Terminal storage areas for the import and export of automotives and associated cargo. ​
• Onward connection for cargo transport, via road and rail, including a new direct access road to the A326.
• Supporting facilities and administrative buildings required to run an automotive terminal.

These proposals would also consider on-site green energy generation such as rooftop solar and supporting infrastructure, as well as infrastructure to support our commitment to net zero including onsite electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
