The document compares the costs of docking a warehouse with a loadhouse versus without a loadhouse. Docking with a loadhouse would cost €380,000 for construction while docking without would cost €290,000, however docking with a loadhouse is estimated to save €23,500 per year in energy costs and up to €3,000 per bay in cold warehouses. When including construction costs and estimated energy savings over time, docking with a loadhouse would have a total cost of €3.58 million compared to €3.79 million without, making the loadhouse the more cost effective solution for the customer in the long run.
