Portsmouth Ferry Port plans new passenger terminal
Plans have started for the development of a new terminal building at Portsmouth Ferry Port. With increasing trade through the port, the original building from 1976 is in need of an upgrade to meet the anticipated growth in coming years. Halcrow Group is developing a master plan to review its current passenger and freight facilities and develop a new modern terminal to enhance the port’s services. Construction will not start until the end of 2009 and will be funded by Portsmouth City Council. The port has seen an increase in traffic from freight and passengers. A second vessel is now on the Le Harve route and Gefco is importing thousands of Citroen cars through the port.
