The port operator has invested in new infrastructure and equipment and taken on 39 staff from previous operator, PD Ports.The 30-acre operation handles more than 9,000 containers per month and discharges vessels from Rotterdam, Tilbury and Grangemouth.
The £15 million investment includes two new Liebherr gantry cranes, as well as a fleet of 21 reach stackers, tractors and trailers,
ABP Director Humber, Simon Bird said: “The opportunity arose for ABP to run the terminal when our agreement with PD Ports came to an end. We already run a very successful container operation in Immingham, so it made sense for us to look to operate the Hull terminal too.
“The transition has been a smooth one and many of the terminal’s existing employees are now part of the ABP workforce. We’re looking forward to running a successful operation and exploring new business opportunities in order to maximise the value of ABP’s latest terminal investment.”
