Rapid Growth at Bristol Port

The 80m LOA Terra Marique is some 20 times longer than the smallest Ally Duck, but the two vessels share seawork common ground in addressing the requirements of European commercial marine operators, contractors and project managers.

It confirms that Bristol is the fastest growing non-ferry port in the country, with cargo throughput doubling over the last decade and traffic rising by 6.3% per year between 1990 and 2002. A lack of expansion land for storage and distribution activities was identified as a main constraint to further growth.
