Faster exists and entries in Immingham

[ May 25, 2023   //   Chris Lewis ]

Associated British Ports (ABP) has installed a gate automation system at the container terminal at the port of Immingham. Costing £1.5 million, it will speed up the operations process and offer improved turnaround time.

Regional director Simon Bird, said: “This investment into a new entry system will allow us to process arrivals and departures efficiently and give the best experience to our visiting hauliers. Recent improvements and investments are shining through clearly with an average turnaround time for road haulage consistently under 30 mins within the Immingham terminal.”

The terminal already operated an automated gate entry system, but the new infrastructure gives the same facility to manage trucks in our new seven-acre empty expansion area.

Immingham container terminal handles 15 vessel calls a week to Scandinavia, the Baltic, the Netherlands, Germany, and Poland.
