The agreement has been made less than three months after Teesport was given the goahead to start a £330m expansion plan, which will see it become the second largest container terminal in the country. Stiller Group has already begun making plans to exploit the port's additional capacity, by launching its own freight forwarding arm (CM 28 February, Teesport expansion plans get green light').
