Felixstowe-based warehousing and container transport provider SEA Transport has expanded its geographical footprint with the opening of a nine-acre facility in Rushden, Northamptonshire.
The new site was chosen by the FORS Bronze-accredited company as the ideal location to offer container transport from all UK major ports.
The facility provides empty and loaded container storage, heavy lifting capacity, container conversions, on-site vehicle workshop and a 24 hour flexible operation with fully manned security.
SEA Transport has its headquarters at Felixstowe Port and was launched in 2000. It specialises in delivery, warehousing and distribution to home, trade and retail premises, as well as offering e-commerce pick and pack and drop shipping to customers in the UK and beyond. It also has a 72,000sq ft bonded warehouse at Felixstowe Port.
The privately owned and operated company has operating licences for 76 trucks and 77 trailers and runs a fleet that ranges from small vans to 44 tonners out of its depots at Felixstowe, Wellingborough and Abingdon.
Frazer Smith, SEA Transport MD, commented: “This is a fantastic opportunity to expand the SEA Transport network allowing us to trunk boxes between ports and providing inland storage and a customer centric supply chain solution.”
