A port is expanding and speeding up the time it takes to unload ships.
Shoreham Port has taken delivery of a £1 million crane that can unload ships faster and a new fleet of fork-lift trucks.
Alan Motterham, manager of Sussex Port Forwarding, said: "The new equipment will enable us to handle future growth in imports and exports and will help retain Shoreham's competitive edge."
The port is looking for a company to rent out a 14-acre patch of vacant land to be used for importing commodities.
