The new facility will be built and operated by a JV formed of the two firms and will "support skilled jobs both directly and more widely across the supply chain, contributing significantly to the local economy", said a statement from Cumberland Council, which Council owns and operates the port. It added that the plans for the sodium treatment facility follows on from works carried out at the port and nearby Oldside to clear land in preparation for other development in future.
