ABP launches Humberside logistics scheme

[ December 6, 2023   //   ]

Associated British Ports (ABP) has exchanged contracts on the 227.5-acre freehold Stallingborough Interchange site near its port of Immingham.

It is earmarked for commercial port opportunities including automotive, bulk warehousing, distribution and logistics uses, advanced manufacturing, as well as green energy initiatives. The area is next to the A180 two miles from the port of Immingham and six miles from the port of Grimsby. It is also one of the largest of the original Enterprise Zones in the region.

It already benefits from outline planning consent for up to 1.3m sq ft of business, industrial) or storage and distribution activities. With the emerging demand for electric vehicles, ABP plans to submit an outline planning application for up to 80 acres of automotive logistics on the site in early 2024.

ABP regional director of the Humber, Simon Bird, said: “As demand is expected to increase for energy generation, automotive storage, bulk warehousing, and storage and distribution uses our space constraints within our ports will increase. This additional land will ensure the delivery of state-of-the-art infrastructure, facilities, and technological innovation for new and existing customers.”

Head of Property – Humber, ABP, Greg Lacey, added: “It’s always a challenge to bring forward a site of such significant scale and I’d like to personally thank NELC for all the investment in time and costs to get it to this stage. We now pick up the baton to bring to fruition our shared ambition to create a major UK port logistics development.
