£33m investment into port infrastructure
Associated British Ports (ABP) has confirmed a £33m upgrade to Immingham Container Terminal to future proof it and extend its footprint.
The investment, referred to as Project Pilgrim includes the installation of six electric rubber tyre gantry cranes, which are traveling from China to the Port.
Simon Bird, Regional Director of ABP Humber, said: “The investment in this infrastructure is key to ABP’s expansion plans at the Humber Container Terminal on the Port of Immingham. The electric rubber tyre gantry cranes will also reduce fuel consumption by 95%, against non-electric, and will therefore compliment our efforts to reduce emissions.”
The firm has continued to invest in the Humber Ports this year to ensure the infrastructure is ready for what it describes as the “opportunities in 2020.”
The £33m investment will also include work to increase the space and improve the layout.
