Hemisphere returns to Port of Ipswich

ABP has invested £250,000 in upgrading the facility to meet Hemisphere’s specialist operational requirements. Works included resurfacing, cladding and demolition to create a high-quality, modern space designed to accommodate complex engineering, packing and export activities.

“Seeing Hemisphere return to Ipswich is positive for the port and the region,” said Tracy Brooker, lead estates manager at ABP.

“The upgraded facility gives their teams the operational space they need and shows the value of working closely with customers to deliver practical solutions.”

The Port of Ipswich offers Hemisphere a prime operating location, combining strong connectivity to the UK road network with close access to major shipping routes.

From this base, Hemisphere will continue to handle a diverse range of high-value and complex cargo, including industrial machinery, automotive components and specialist equipment bound for markets across Europe, Asia and the Americas.

“We’re delighted to be back at the Port of Ipswich, which offers us the flexibility and strategic location we need to support our expanding engineering and packing operations,” said Craig Perrin of Hemisphere Freight Services.

“ABP has been a fantastic partner throughout the process and the investment in the site has created a facility that meets our exacting standards.”

Kevin Fosbury, property asset manager at ABP, highlighted the company’sS customer-focused approach. “We’re proud to support Hemisphere’s continued growth and to welcome them back to Ipswich,” he said. “This investment reflects ABP’s commitment to delivering high-quality property solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers.”

ABP’s property portfolio spans nearly 1,000 hectares across 21 ports nationwide.
