Future Ports: Barrow Masterplan
Delivering growth capacity for a new economy
This Masterplan sets out our vision for ABP Barrow.
Barrow-in-Furness finds itself in a time of extraordinary opportunity. The town is going to benefit from a big wave of investment which will run to 2040 and beyond.
This creates an exciting challenge for us all. We must work together to create an economy which can successfully absorb the scale of investment which is coming – or we risk seeing the opportunities go elsewhere.
At ABP, we see a unique opportunity to help. The port can assist by bringing new growth capacity online rapidly, providing the space, power, marine capacity, environments and expertise needed to land these.
It’s important that we move quickly. Our first proposed masterplan project is Barrow EnergyDock – which provides Barrow’s advanced engineering sector with the power it needs for expansion. If you’re looking for content specifically focusing on the EnergyDock planning application, then head here.
As you’ll see, this masterplan isn’t just about ABP. It is about working with our partners as part of “Team Barrow”. Together, we are playing to win big investments, new growth, better environments and stronger communities for the town.
