Fertiliser manufacturer Brineflow has started construction of the second phase of amajor terminal at Port of Sunderland.
Following the opening of its multimillion-pound storage and distribution facility last year, the producer of liquid nitrogen products has started expansion of the site which is said to become one of Europe's largest dedicated liquid fertiliser terminals.
The move means Brineflow - which has invested more than £5m in Port of Sunderland in the past year - will increase its handling and storage capacity by almost a third.
