November 11, 2024 - Associated British Ports (ABP) and Viterra have announced the construction of a £10 million storage warehouse at the Immingham International Terminal, Lincolnshire, due to Viterra's growing need for efficient and reliable storage.
The project will add 40,000 tonnes to their existing capacity, giving almost 80,000 tonnes of undercover storage. Construction of the site began in September and is expected to be completed by summer 2025.
"This investment is a testament to our dedication to providing top-tier services to our clients. James Maw, Managing Director for Viterra commented. "The new facility will enable us to better serve our customers and meet the increasing demand for high-quality storage solutions."
Viterra renewed its relationship with ABP in April 2022 with the opening of a new 35,000mt storage facility located on the Humber International Terminal. This is complemented by additional storage within ABP's Bulk Park facility located within the Port of Immingham.
The Port of Immingham is suitably located in north Lincolnshire and is the largest port in the UK by volume of tonnage. It plays an important role in supporting UK supply chains for both imports and exports across Europe and beyond.
Andrew Dawes, Director of the Humber ports expressed his excitement for the project, and commented that he believed it was both significant and reinforced the ports position as a leading UK port for the import and export of Agri-Bulks.
"Through our commitment to investing in supply chain solutions, we are not only improving our ability to better serve our customers, but also strengthening British trade. Dawes said. "By prioritising efficiency and agility we're building a robust supply chain that will support growth today and drive sustainable progress for the future in our mission to Keep Britain Trading."
