Humber International Terminal

Humber International Terminal 1, opened in 2000, capitalises on Immingham�s deep-water location with a 300-m long berth capable of receiving vessels carrying in excess of 100,000 tonnes of cargo. Vessels are discharged or loaded by the terminal�s three 100-tonne capacity mobile harbour cranes which, in grabbing mode, can each reach a discharge rate of 700 tonnes per hour.

Significant investment by ABP in 2002 enhanced transport connections at the port, particularly the railfreight infrastructure. The majority of the cargo handled at Humber International Terminal is distributed by rail; over 100 trainloads of power-generator coal are despatched from the port each week.

Humber International Terminal 2, which opened in 2006, is a dedicated bulk-discharging facility with a capacity to handle over nine million tonnes annually. Built at a cost of almost �60m, Humber International Terminal 2 represented ABP�s largest-ever investment in a single port terminal development. The extended terminal has a total berth length of 520 m and is furnished with the latest equipment, including two rail-mounted slewing cranes capable of free-digging in excess of 1,500 tonnes per hour and fully automated landside operations, including two stacker reclaimers, conveyor systems and rapid-loading rail bunkers. The terminal also features modern environmental controls with fully enclosed conveyors and dust-suppression systems.

The two berths jointly handled over 10 million tonnes in 2007, and whilst this has been predominantly solid fuel destined for power generators, a wide range of cargoes, including animal feed and ilmenite, also passed through this terminal.
