Procured through the Procure Partnerships framework, this £17.1m project will support the wider ambitions of this new free port for Solent, which is one of the eight free ports announced by the chancellor in his budget. It is one of the largest investment projects in the port’s history and it set to generate 100 new jobs when construction is complete.

Kier started enabling works on site on the 1st March 2021 and have been working with its local supply chain partners on the project. The port is due to be complete in Spring 2022.
Mark Norris, regional director of Kier Regional Building Southern, stated: "We are proud to have been appointed by Portsmouth City Council to deliver important new infrastructure at Portsmouth International Port.
"Throughout construction, we will utilise our technical expertise and work with our local supply chain partners to build this important border infrastructure which will critically support the Port’s ambitions as a major transport link as well as creating new and sustainable jobs for the local Portsmouth community."
