<a href=\"https:\/\/www.portsmouth.gov.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Portsmouth City Council<\/a> to construct new border control buildings for Portsmouth International Port<\/h2>\n<p>This \u00a317.1m project will support the wider ambitions of this\u00a0new\u00a0free port for Solent, which is one of the eight free ports\u00a0announced\u00a0by the <a

<a href=\"https:\/\/procurepartnerships.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Procure Partnerships<\/a> framework, it is one of the largest investment projects in the port\u2019s

regional director of Kier Regional Building Southern, said:\u00a0\u201cWe are proud to have been appointed by Portsmouth City Council to deliver important new infrastructure at Portsmouth International Port.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThroughout construction, we will utilise our technical expertise and work with our local supply chain partners to build this important border infrastructure which will critically support the Port\u2019s ambitions as a major transport link as well as creating new and sustainable jobs for the local Portsmouth community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mike Sellers, Portsmouth International Port director, added:\u00a0\u201cOur contractors are underway on this huge development project and you\u2019ll start to see the Border Control Post (BCP) taking shape.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis has allowed us to expand and we will be able to increase our role as a key port, providing critical routes for UK-EU trade serving the western channel and providing resilience against the challenges of the short crossings in Kent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGreen credentials are also at the forefront of our plans, as any new development must meet our target to become the UK\u2019s first net carbon neutral port by 2030.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kier started enabling works on site on 1 March 2021 and have been working with its local supply chain partners on the project.<\/p>\n<p>The port is due to be complete in Spring 2022.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kier has been appointed by
