Yusen Logistics (UK), a leading provider of logistics solutions, and SEGRO, the leading owner, manager, and developer of modern warehouses and industrial property, are setting new standards in the logistics industry with an impressive, shared-user warehouse facility at SEGRO Logistics Park Northampton.
“This Yusen Logistics UK facility, in partnership with SEGRO, sets a new logistics industry benchmark and further emphasizes Yusen Logistics’ commitment to providing sustainable logistics services by 2030. We are both proud and excited to participate in this exciting project and look forward to achieving our sustainability goals.” David Goldsborough, Managing Director
The groundbreaking ceremony for the largest new build project for Yusen Logistics is planned to take place in early 2024, with the site expected to be fully operational by summer 2025. The building is designed to achieve a BREEAM Excellent rating, which will reduce carbon to net zero during the build and is designed to save approximately 418 tCO2e in scope 1 and 498 tCO2e in scope 2 annually.
The £280m investment in the 1,191,000 sq ft facility has been designed to incorporate several key initiatives Yusen Logistics believes will achieve net zero for the operation.
The warehouse will benefit from a solar array spanning the entire roof space, generating approximately 1,850 MWh in the first year. This array will allow surplus energy to be exported to the National Grid, generating green energy for others to benefit from. Yusen Logistics already procures green energy as part of its Zero Carbon programme, which excludes natural gas.
The site also enjoys excellent connectivity to the M1 and public transportation. Yusen Logistics colleagues will benefit from green spaces, increased bicycle storage, and car charging for 220 Electric Vehicles, including Yusen Logistics’s all-electric company car fleet.
The facility, immediately adjacent to SEGRO’s 35-acre Strategic Rail Freight Terminal, enables Yusen Logistics to provide their customers with rail freight solutions, providing CO2 savings on inbound transport.
The site includes 220 truck parking spaces, including Electric Truck charging, 70 loading docks, and 6-level access doors. The temperature management system supports chilled storage for planned MHRA, GDP-compliant Healthcare, and ambient multiuser storage. Other sustainable investments include automated pick, pack, and sustainable packing solutions, further supporting Yusen Logistics customers’ sustainable objectives.
Dan Holford, Head of National Markets at SEGRO, said: “We’ve been working hard to create the infrastructure and develop this site in preparation for the first warehouses. It is a testament to our strong customer relationship that Yusen Logistics UK has chosen to grow with us and become a strategic occupier at SEGRO Logistics Park Northampton. SEGRO Logistics Park Northampton not only represents a critical piece of our national industrial infrastructure for storing and transporting goods but also enables employment and economic growth, doing so with sustainability at its heart. We are particularly pleased that the rail freight terminal is proving to be an important factor in the decision to locate at this development.”
