Does SHP.SL have the right facilities?
Having the right types of facilities means:
• Having an adequate supply of cargo buildings, staging, storage areas,
and apron in the optimal location.
• Understanding the mix of carriers, and the necessary support services to
the entity to which the facility could be leased, and the warehousing,
office, and GSE space as well as the landside and aeronautical
infrastructure they require for cost-effective operations.
• Determining the appropriate throughput for the potential tenants and
users of the facility.
After looking over all the facilities offered by our new Cargo
Terminal, we can confirm that SHP.SL got the right facilities to perform
operations in the future for Import as well as new Export markets . We
created the most attractive Cargo Unit in the sub-region. The key to avoiding
overcapacity is to build facilities with flexibility in mind. That’s why the
building concept includes a 2 500 sqm extension, in case of a tremendous
traffic growth. Our facilities are now in compliance with the RA3
certification.
