Ipswich MP Ben Gummer said: "The Port of Ipswich plays a vital role in the supply chain for businesses across East Anglia.

"This fantastic new facility will help support these businesses, will drive trade and will create jobs in Ipswich, our county and our region."

Constructed by local company RG Carte, the new terminal will allow stocking goods more than 6m-high within the new store, which will result in the best use of the limited space within the port.
