Why Ports, a little reminder!
Our current activities, very briefly
Future works, but especially……
Bristol Deep Sea Container Terminal
Shipping and Freight
•
Carries 90%+ of world trade:
– Raw materials and commodities
– Finished goods
– Foodstuffs
– Fuel
•
Underpins global economy and is
essential for sustainable
development
•
Is safe, secure and the most
environmentally- friendly and fuelefficient of all modes of transport

The Future for Bristol Port
•
•
•
•
•
Continued import, export & transhipment of cargo
Port-based Power Stations using Biofuel
Support for on & off-shore wind turbine development
Support for new power stations in the Region
Government has said that UK must maintain its
status as a centre for imports and not become a
feeder destination
• There is a shortage of UK deep sea container port
capacity……………………………

•
UK roads are congested, particularly in GSE
Some form of road-use charge is likely
Fuel costs escalating
Emissions need to be reduced
Recognise benefits of Rail for freight
Inefficient UK inland distribution of goods
Ship routing needs to be more efficient
More use of containers

Owing to transhipment movements to the Tees and ports north of the Tees
not being captured by this study, accuracy north of York is not guaranteed.

Programme Critical Activities:
1. Civil Engineering and Dredging Works
2. Compensation Site
3. Monitoring, Compensation &
Mitigation Agreement (MCMA)
Civil Engineering and Dredging Works
• Expressions of Interest
• Tender & assessment
• Appointment of:
Construct Bristol Terminal
A JV of Costain, BAM Nuttall, Halcrow, Van Oord & Boskalis
Construct Bristol Terminal - ECI
The Port’s objective: To have by Q1, 2011:
A cost and programme for the proposed works (assuming a start
in Q1, 2012) – a) Caisson quay wall b) Open piled deck and
revetment
A full understanding of the Risks (technical, environmental,
financial & time)
A package of factual information sufficient to seek tenders for a
D&B contract to construct the proposed works
SAC – special areas of conservation
SPA – special protection area
SSSI – site of special scientific interest
Ramsar – wetlands convention after meeting in Iran
Compensate
for this area
COMPENSATION OBJECTIVES:
Provide 120 Ha of Intertidal habitat
Inc 22 Ha of mudflat
Compensation – Habitats Directive:
• Provide compensation site for habitat loss
in Avonmouth
• Satisfy performance objectives
• Provide Sustainable development,
designated in 10 years
• Options available, work with EA

2. ABPmer appointed (with others)
3. RSPB appointed
Monitoring, Compensation and Mitigation
Agreement
• Environmental Steering Group (ESG)
established
• HR Wallingford and Port developing
proposals to address MCMA
Conclusion
Ports are essential to UK plc
Bristol Port remains a superb location for the import and export
of cargo to and from the UK main population centres
Bristol Port is a multi-modal transport hub and already
contributes significantly to emissions savings by delivering
cargo near to its users
Bristol Deep Sea Container Terminal will benefit the UK, the
Region and the local area
Today the Port supports 8,000+ jobs in the locality and more in
the future
