Maersk expands warehousing facilities in UK, Ireland

The Doncaster facility is part of the G Park Doncaster Mammoth 602 development and perfectly connected via road (close to five motorways), rail (Doncaster International Railport), and air (Robin Hood Airport), according to a press release by Maersk. With more than 600,000 square feet total space, 60 dock levellers, 20 metres internal clear height as well as several hundred parking spaces and offices, the warehouse is one of the largest in the UK. It also ranks among the most sustainable logistics buildings in the north of England. The developer GLP has built the facility on a net zero carbon scheme for construction (within the UKGBC framework).

In addition to the warehouse in Doncaster, Maersk’s portfolio comprises two other distribution centres in the UK in Tamworth and Kettering.

In Ireland, Maersk has signed a lease for renting two new warehouses in the Quantum Logistics Park in the north of Dublin. The units 3 and 4 within Quantum Logistics Park will feature a combined space of 250,000 square feet and will be built to fulfil the sustainability standards of LEED Gold and BREEAM Excellent ratings.

The Dublin-based developer IPUT Real Estate will complete the two warehouses in Q4 2022 and Q2 2023, while unit 4 will also become Ireland’s first net zero logistics building using a glue-laminated timber structural frame. Quantum Logistics Park is strategically located 2 kilometres from Dublin airport and 15 kilometres from Dublin port with immediate access to the M2 motorway, added the release.

Following the successful acquisition of the warehousing specialist LF Logistics in Asia, Maersk offers its customers integrated logistics solutions in more than 550 warehouses with a total global space of around 9.5 million square metres. Several additional Maersk warehouses are planned to go into operation in Europe in the coming months.
