MARSHALL MARITIME SERVICES EXPANDS TRADE AT ABP PORT OF HULL
Marshall Maritime Services (MMS), a private shipping company, is set to expand its business at Associated British Ports’ (ABP) Port of Hull.ABP is investing some £570,000 in providing surfaced, high-quality outside storage space, which will enable MMS to handle additional quantities of timber through the port.
MMS started using Hull last year following a 10-year agreement with ABP, and also imports steel and timber through ABP’s Port of Cardiff, where a new £1.1 million storage terminal became operational in July this year.
Commenting on the development, Douglas Morrison, Port Director, ABP Hull & Goole, said:
“Marshall Maritime Services is a valued customer of ABP, and we are really pleased that the company is thriving at our Port of Hull.We look forward to working together further, to our mutual benefit, for years to come.”
Nick Marshall, Managing Director, Marshall Maritime Services, said:
“We have invested over £1 million in handling equipment at the port, and we appreciate the continued support we have received from ABP.We look forward to a long and healthy relationship with ABP, and there are further developments in the pipeline.”
The new storage facilities will become operational in November 2004.
