NEW depot, built by McVeigh Transport Ltd., with warehouse accommodation of 64,000 sq. ft., has been opened at Green Lane, Immingham. It has been designed to serve the Continental trade of the new Immingham roll-on/roll-off ferry Tor Anglia. The depot—the first of three stages—is equipped with modern handling equipment and so will increase the facilities of the Continental department to cater for over 150 TIR trailers in conjunction with the company's Swedish associate, Trailer Express A.B., of Gothenburg. Work will start later this year on a large new depot in Hull to facilitate shipments by the England Sweden Line.
McVeigh's activities have recently become focused on traffic travelling between Britain and Sweden, and with the introduction of the Immingham and Hull ferries many transport problems have been overcome. The company now has a port in its immediate vicinity, and difficulties arising with Customs clearance and loading problems can be dealt with quickly.
New possibilities have also been opened to McVeigh. With local ferry services the company can operate a more economical and speedier service to the Continent from Immingham and Hull.
McVeigh operates 20-ton fiat and tilt TIR trailers to Sweden, and flat, tilt and refrigerated hanging meat and frozen food TIR trailers to the Continent.
The firm has a full coverage of depots and associated companies in the United Kingdom, with the headquarters at Grimsby. Depots and companies in London, Liverpool, Birmingham, Cardiff, Bournemouth, Glasgow, Sheffield, Hull, Immingham, Manchester and Peterborough, ensure a fast delivery and collection service to and from the major centres of Britain.
