Features of the project include:-

• 1,350 metres of quay
  
  
• Dredged to 16 metres below Chart Datum – able to accommodate the latest generation of very large container vessels
  
  
• Approach channel of 14.5 metres below Chart Datum
  
  
• 13 ship-to-shore gantry cranes
  
  
• 50 rubber-tyred gantry cranes
  
  
• Storage yard capacity of 46,800 TEUs (i.e. Twenty Foot Equivalent Units)
  
  
• ‘New North Rail Terminal’ – on land already reclaimed at Trinity Terminal
  
  

As part of the development, enhancements are also proposed that will benefit the whole of the Landguard Peninsula. These include:-

• The upgrade of View Point Road
  
  
• The realignment of the Port boundary to release land to provide additional car parking and landscaping, thereby enhancing the approach to the Landguard Fort
  
  
• Provision of a bus stop and coach parking, with a turning facility
  
  
• A relocated Viewing Area
  
  
• Design to allow later provision of a foot ferry
  
  

Plans for an enhanced Felixstowe-Harwich-Shotley foot ferry are being progressed through the Haven Gateway Partnership, a public-private partnership aimed at promoting the "Haven Gateway" sub-region for inward investment and economic regeneration. Extension of the new quay wall in front of Landguard Fort also offers the potential to provide additional visitor facilities.
