// ABOUT ABP HUMBER There are four ports within the Humber Port region of ABP.
Grimsby Although retaining its strong
Immingham The Port of Immingham offers an extensive range of roro and lolo freight services to Northern Europe, Scandinavia, and the Baltic. With river and in-dock deep-water facilities and easy access to the major trade routes, Immingham is less than 24 hours from a European market of 170 million people. Modern rail infrastructure handles more than 260 rail freight movements a week, with the port also offering high-speed road links - from the M180 through to the M18 and M1 - allowing UK-wide cargo distribution from a location strategically close to the UK’s industrial heartland.
Goole As the UK’s most inland port, Goole is ideally situated for access to the country’s transport infrastructure. Located on the River Ouse, some 50 miles from the North Sea and less than two miles from the M62, Goole is only 30 minutes’ drive from the industrial areas of West and South Yorkshire. The North Midlands and the North- West are no more than an hour’s drive away. The port also has rail connections to many berths and well- used canal connections to West and South Yorkshire. The 310-acre Capitol Park distribution centre is conveniently located close by.
Hull The Port of Hull on the north bank of the Humber Estuary is just 20 miles from the North Sea. The port is connected by dual carriageway road links to the M62 and then M18, and M1, to service the whole of the British Isles. It is also connected into the inland waterways system. ABP Humber is working with Siemens on the £310m Green Port Hull development, a wind turbine blade manufacturing, assembly and servicing facility on the Alexandra Dock. As well as containers, ferry travel and roro, Hull specialises in handling forest products and a range of bulk commodities, while BP has a strong presence in the chemical market. Hull is also home to the UK’s first fully- enclosed cargo-handling facility for weather-sensitive cargoes such as steel.
connection with the fishing and food industry, Grimsby is the UK’s major car import terminal and is at the forefront in serving the developing offshore wind energy industry. Grimsby River Terminal can accommodate vessels carrying up to 3,000 vehicles and the port handles more than 500,000 vehicles each year as both imports and exports. Grimsby is located just seven miles from the open sea, on the south bank of the River Humber and within easy reach of the UK’s industrial heartland. The M180/A180 dual carriageway runs right to the dock entrance, providing fast links to the M18 and M1. There are also direct quayside rail connections which link the port to the national railway network.
