In a world where supply chains are under growing pressure to perform with greater speed, efficiency and resilience, choosing the right logistics partner has never been more important. On Teesside, AV Dawson Transport’s Tees Riverside Intermodal Park (TRIP) is setting a new benchmark for integrated, customer‑focused container solutions – helping businesses streamline operations, cut costs and enhance reliability.
Strategically located at the Port of Middlesbrough and just 10 minutes from Teesport, TRIP offers an off‑dock facility designed to support smooth, efficient, end‑to‑end cargo flows. With direct access to major road networks and the rail system, the terminal provides fast and flexible options for containerised goods moving across the UK and beyond.
What sets TRIP apart is its focus on flexibility and capability. The facility can handle any size of container or ISO tank, whether empty or loaded and offers both short and long‑term storage, including for hazardous and non‑hazardous liquid ISO tanks. This breadth of capability ensures that businesses with complex or specialist requirements have a reliable, well‑equipped partner to depend on.
But TRIP is more than a storage facility, it is a fully integrated logistics hub. The experienced team manages every stage of the journey, whether collecting goods directly from the port, transporting them to the terminal, or arranging storage and onward distribution. This seamless end‑to‑end approach reduces duplication, minimises delays and delivers a smooth operational flow that helps protect profit margins and keep supply chains running moving.
Customers also gain the confidence that comes with visibility and control. TRIP provides daily stock reporting alongside fast onsite turnaround times, ensuring businesses know exactly where their cargo is and can respond quickly to demand changes. Paired with a responsive customer service team and a focus on operational reliability, this creates an environment where efficiency is standard practice – not a bonus.
Beyond core storage and handling, TRIP offers an extensive range of value‑added services that help maximise container usability and cargo readiness.
These include:
- Electric plug‑in points for refrigerate shipping containers
- Bulk container lining and lining removal
- Flexitank fitting and relining
- Garment rail removal to return specialised containers to general‑purpose use
