This is the first look at an indicative plan for Port of Immingham’s £100 million ro-ro terminal.
To be delivered by ABP and Stena Line, subject to securing a development consent order, it is a headline project for the group as it plots growth in the next four to six years.
The image was revealed as ABP launched a Group Professional Services Framework to deliver infrastructure assets over the coming period. A huge development at Lowestoft for offshore wind deployment has also been flagged.

A total of 18 firms have been named as key consultancy partners, covering project support, architecture, design and engineering, renewable energy and designated specialisms.
They are: Adams Hendry, Aecom, Barton Willmore, Binnies, Corderoy, Jacobs, Kerr Consulting, Mace, Mott MacDonald, Plan Ahead, Quod, Ramboll, Ridge, Savills, Turner & Townsend, Ubiquitous Risk and WSP, with Aecom, Jacobs and Mott MacDonald taking positions in multiple lots.
Marina Wyatt, ABP's chief financial officer, said: “This is a really positive step for ABP, and it will be fundamental in allowing us to move forward with our growth strategy. The Group Professional Services Framework will help us rapidly respond to our customers’ growing needs through the delivery of best-in-class infrastructure and is a foundation from which we can ensure we continue to fulfil our mission to keep Britain trading.”
ABP is the UK’s leading ports group, with 21 locations around Britain. It deals with 90 million onnes of cargo, crossing 87km of quays, with a quarter of all rail freight generated at the ports it operates.
Immingham is the jewel in the crown as the UK’s largest port by tonnage, part of a Humber complex home to four separate but closely aligned sites.
As reported, it has launched the consultation for the four-berth addition to the eastern flank at Immingham, having partnered with the Swedish shipping giant.
ABP also owns the UK’s busiest rail freight terminal at Hams Hall near Birmingham.
