Hinterland project for Humber

Plans for what will be one of the biggest port related developments in the UK — covering almost 1,500 acres on the South Bank of the Humber — have been submitted to North Lincolnshire Council.

Port Strategy: Able has ambitious plans for its Humber base

Able UK Limited, which has already completed the first phase of its Able Humber Port Facility, is now putting forward proposals for land north of Immingham which will eventually create around 5,000 jobs in the area.

Included in the proposals are plans for a wide range of developments designed to provide the services needed for the continuing development of the South Humber Bank, one of the UK’s fastest growing ports and logistics centre.

These include the creation of transport depots, warehousing and external storage areas, together with offices, a business park and a motel. There will be road and rail links to Immingham Port and the Humber Sea Terminal and a large part of the site will also provide landscaping and provision of areas for wildlife and ecology.
