Bunge and Associated British Ports (ABP) announced that since the beginning of their collaboration in 2022, they have handled over one million tons of grains and oilseeds through agricultural storage and handling operations at Immingham Port. This partnership demonstrates the high capability and efficiency of these two entities in supplying agricultural goods to customers across the UK and helps local farmers connect to global markets.
Details of Collaboration and Infrastructure Development
This collaboration began with the launch of Shed 35, a dedicated agricultural storage facility at the Humber International Terminal. In response to high market demand, Bunge and ABP increased the total storage capacity of this site to approximately 75,000 tons by developing Shed 36, creating one of the largest agricultural handling hubs in the Humber region.
Importance of Immingham Port and Future Outlook
Paul Litten, Commercial Director (Humber) at ABP, described this achievement as "an outstanding success" and stated that this record reflects the strength of their long-term collaboration at Immingham Port. He added that ABP has supported Bunge's growth by providing deep facilities and necessary expertise, addressing sustainable supply chains. Immingham Port, as the largest port in the UK by cargo volume, is ideally positioned to connect the UK to international trade routes.
The Humber International Terminal is one of the deep cargo handling facilities in the country, handling a variety of goods including grains, biomass, and other dry cargoes. Looking to the future, Bunge and ABP are committed to supporting further growth at these facilities and improving operational efficiency to meet the changing needs of farmers and customers in the agriculture, feed, and food sectors.
