The UK Government\u2019s approval of the Development Consent Order (DCO) marks a significant milestone, allowing construction of the RoRo (Roll-on\/Roll-off) ferry terminal to begin.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are very pleased that the Secretary of State has approved the new RoRo terminal at Immingham,\u201d said Niclas M\u00e5rtensson, CEO of Stena Line.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a long-term commitment and will be integral to expanding our freight operations between the UK and Continental Europe, especially in response to growing demand.\u201d<\/p>\n
Freight focus<\/strong><\/p>\n This new facility will expand Stena Line\u2019s freight operations in the North-East of England, a key hub for the unaccompanied freight market.<\/p>\n Stena Line, one of the world\u2019s largest ferry operators, signed a 50-year agreement with ABP in 2022 to manage the new terminal, which will support increased freight traffic between the UK and The Netherlands.<\/p>\n Henrik L Pedersen, CEO of ABP said: \u201cWe are delighted that the Development Consent Order (DCO) for the Immingham Eastern Ro-Ro Terminal (IERRT) has been granted.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201dThis approval marks a significant milestone in our mission to Keep Britain Trading through enhancing the UK\u2019s logistics infrastructure and bolstering trade capacity across the North Sea.\u201d<\/p>\n The IERRT project is a key component of our strategy to strengthen the UK\u2019s supply chains and improve trade connectivity, boosting logistics infrastructure and bolstering trade capacity across the North Sea.<\/p>\n It also responds to the trend for larger RoRo vessels, requiring larger port infrastructure and landside space.<\/p>\n The terminal\u2019s strategic location on the Humber Estuary allows for faster sailings and the use of larger vessels, enhancing ferry terminal operations and boosting the region\u2019s economic capacity.<\/p>\n Mr Pedersen added that the project will create hundreds of jobs during both the construction phase and ongoing operations, set for completion by 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Stena Line and Associated British Ports\u00a0(ABP) have announced plans to move forward with a GBP\u00a3200 million marine construction project for a new ferry terminal at the Port of Immingham.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":2064,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[97],"tags":[279,102,284,280,282,281,283,278],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-2063","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-projects-initiatives","tag-abp","tag-associated-british-ports","tag-erry-terminal","tag-marine-civils","tag-marine-construction","tag-port-of-immingham","tag-roro","tag-stena-line"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2063","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2063"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2063\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2065,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2063\/revisions\/2065"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2064"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2063"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2063"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2063"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/coastlink\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=2063"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
