Viterra signs deal with ABP in the Humber
(Posted on 12/11/24)
Associated British Ports (ABP) and Viterra, one of the world leading grain marketers, have announce the construction of a new state-of-the-art storage warehouse at the Immingham International Terminal (HIT).
The £10 million investment will add a further 40,000 metric tonnes (MT) capacity to their existing capacity giving almost 80,000 metric tonnes of undercover storage. The new facility is designed to support Viterra’s growing demand for efficient and reliable storage solutions, catering for their several different imported commodities.
Andrew Dawes, Director of the Humber ports said: “We are thrilled to partner with Viterra on this significant project. This new warehouse adjacent to deep water berths, will not only increase our storage capacity for Viterra, but also reinforce our position as a leading UK port for the import and export of Agri-Bulks.
“Through our commitment to investing in supply chain solutions, we are not only improving our ability to better serve our customers, but also strengthening British trade. This investment is about creating a more resilient, responsive infrastructure that uplifts key sectors across the economy. By prioritising efficiency and agility, we’re building a robust supply chain that will support growth today and drive sustainable progress for the future in our mission to Keep Britain Trading.”
James Maw, Managing Director for Viterra added: “This investment is a testament to our dedication to providing top-tier services to our clients. The new facility will enable us to better serve our customers and meet the increasing demand for high-quality storage solutions.”
Globally, Viterra is a world leading agriculture network, active in 39 countries worldwide, marketing more than 100 million metric tonnes of agricultural commodities per year. The company renewed its relationship with ABP in April 2022 with the opening of a new 35,000 mt storage facility located on the Humber International Terminal. This is complemented by additional storage within ABP’s Bulk Park facility located within the Port of Immingham.
ABP has invested significantly in grain handling operations across the group to maintain customer demand. This has included purchasing new cranes, refurbishing existing cranes and investing in landside equipment.
The Port of Immingham is suitably located in north Lincolnshire and is the largest port in the UK by volume of tonnage. It plays an important role in supporting UK supply chains for both imports and exports across Europe and beyond. Construction of the shed began in September 2024 with completion expected by summer 2025.
